A lion is used sometimes in the bible to symbolize strength, as well as an eagle.A lion is also the symbol of Jeuda, the old kingdom of the Jews.
the word strenth is pronounced 'Chozek'
(the 'ch' is pronounced with the throat), and is written in Hebrew this way:
חוזק
The word Froce is pronounced 'Ko'ach' , and is written:
כוח
Snake doesn't represent strenth in hebrew culture, it is considered to be cunning and devious, due to the temptation of Eve of course, and is also a symbol for medicine.

Some of the traditional metaphors for strength and intensity (according to the bible) are lion (the symbol of the tribe of Judah) and hand, arm, or fist.
If you're looking for the Hebrew word for "strength", it is "co'ach" (××, ×Ö¼×Ö¹×Ö·), "chozek" (×××ק, ×Ö¹×ֶק), or "otzmah" (×¢×צ××, עָצְ×Ö¸×).
The Hebrew writing system does not use logograms and "symbols": it uses a phonetic- consonantal system of letters.
