Strong's Lexicon malat: To escape, deliver, save, rescue Original Word: מָלַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4982 (sōzō): To save, deliver, make whole - G1295 (diasōzō): To bring safely through, to save thoroughly Usage: The Hebrew verb "malat" primarily conveys the idea of escaping or being delivered from danger or distress. It is often used in contexts where an individual or group is saved from physical peril, such as enemies or natural disasters. The term can also imply spiritual or moral deliverance, highlighting God's role as a deliverer. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of deliverance was deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites often found themselves in situations requiring divine intervention, whether from foreign oppressors or natural calamities. The use of "malat" reflects a reliance on God's power to save and protect His chosen people, reinforcing the belief in His sovereignty and faithfulness.
