Strong's Lexicon malats: To deliver, to escape, to rescue Original Word: מָלַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek word "ῥύομαι" (rhuomai, Strong's Greek 4506) carries a similar meaning of delivering or rescuing, often used in the New Testament to describe God's saving actions. Usage: The Hebrew verb "malats" primarily conveys the idea of delivering or rescuing someone from danger or distress. It is often used in contexts where an individual is saved from a perilous situation, emphasizing the act of being set free or escaping from harm. The term can also imply providing refuge or safety. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, 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, natural disasters, or spiritual oppression. The act of deliverance was seen as a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness. This cultural backdrop highlights the importance of "malats" as a term that reflects God's protective and redemptive nature.
