Strong's Lexicon melet: Escape, Deliverance Original Word: מֶלֶט Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to escape or deliver. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of deliverance in the New Testament is often captured by the Greek word "σωτηρία" (soteria - Strong's Greek 4991), which means salvation or deliverance. Another related term is "ῥύομαι" (rhuomai - Strong's Greek 4506), meaning to rescue or deliver. Usage: The Hebrew word "melet" primarily conveys the idea of escape or deliverance. It is used in contexts where there is a need for rescue or liberation from danger or distress. The term emphasizes the act of being set free or the state of having been delivered from peril. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of deliverance was deeply rooted in their understanding of God's relationship with His people. The Israelites often found themselves in situations requiring divine intervention, whether from physical enemies, spiritual oppression, or natural disasters. Deliverance was seen as a testament to God's power and faithfulness. The Exodus from Egypt is the quintessential example of divine deliverance, shaping the identity and faith of the Israelite community.
