Usage: The verb פָלַט (palat) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of slipping out, escaping, or delivering. It often appears in contexts where an individual or group is being rescued or delivered from danger or distress.

Context: The Hebrew verb פָלַט (palat) is a primitive root that primarily means "to escape" or "to deliver." It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often in relation to divine intervention or assistance in times of trouble. The term can imply both physical escape from danger and metaphorical deliverance from distress or oppression.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), פָלַט is frequently translated as "deliver" or "escape." For example, in Psalm 18:2, the psalmist declares, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer," highlighting the role of God as a rescuer. Similarly, in Psalm 144:2, the psalmist refers to God as "my loving devotion and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer."

The concept of deliverance is central to the theological themes of the Old Testament, where God is often portrayed as the ultimate deliverer of His people, rescuing them from physical enemies, spiritual bondage, and existential threats. The use of פָלַט underscores the reliance on divine intervention for salvation and protection.

The verb also appears in narratives where individuals escape from perilous situations, such as in 1 Samuel 19:10, where David escapes from Saul's attempt to kill him. This usage emphasizes the providential care and protection afforded to those who trust in God.
