Strong's Lexicon yesha: Salvation, deliverance, safety, welfare Original Word: יֶשַׁע Word Origin: Derived from the root יָשַׁע (yasha), meaning "to save" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4991 (soteria): Salvation, deliverance - G4992 (soterion): Bringing salvation, saving - G4990 (soter): Savior, deliverer Usage: The Hebrew word "yesha" primarily denotes the concept of salvation or deliverance. It is often used in the context of God providing rescue or safety to His people, whether from physical danger, enemies, or spiritual peril. The term emphasizes the active role of God as a savior and protector, highlighting His power and faithfulness in delivering His people from distress. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of salvation was closely tied to the idea of a deity intervening on behalf of a nation or individual. For the Israelites, "yesha" was not just a physical deliverance but also a spiritual and covenantal promise. It was a central theme in their understanding of God's relationship with them, as He was seen as their ultimate source of protection and blessing. This understanding was deeply rooted in their history, from the Exodus out of Egypt to the various deliverances from surrounding enemies throughout the biblical narrative.
