Strong's Lexicon nuts: To flee, to escape, to scatter Original Word: נוּץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts includes "φεύγω" (pheugō - Strong's Greek 5343), which also means to flee or escape. Usage: The Hebrew verb "נוּץ" (nuts) primarily conveys the action of fleeing or escaping, often in the context of scattering or dispersing. It is used to describe the movement of individuals or groups who are seeking to avoid danger or capture. The term can also imply a sense of urgency or haste in the act of fleeing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of fleeing or scattering was often associated with warfare, persecution, or divine judgment. The Israelites, as a people who experienced numerous conflicts and exiles, would have been familiar with the notion of scattering as both a physical and spiritual reality. The act of fleeing could also symbolize a departure from sin or a movement towards safety and refuge, often under God's guidance or protection. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee natsats.
