יש הבדל בין **חִזק** בכבד ובין **מחזיק** בהפעיל. "חזק" בכבד מציין שמחזיק כח החלש; ובהפעיל מורה שתופס בחברו בכח; ואם אחריו ב' מורה שתופס בלא הנחה. (בהר ס' עא)

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
There is a difference between **חִזק** (strengthen) in active voice intensive conjugation and **מחזיק** (grab) in active voice causative conjugation: **חִזק** in active voice intensive conjugation indicates that he gives strength to the weak; And with active voice causative conjugation, it teaches that he grabs onto his friend with strength. And if the prefix letter ב is after it, it teaches that he grabs on without letting go.
