Usage: The Hebrew verb "benas" is used to describe the act of fleeing or escaping from danger or pursuit. It conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, often in the context of seeking safety or deliverance from a threatening situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of fleeing was often associated with warfare, persecution, or divine judgment.
