These Greek terms reflect similar themes of salvation and deliverance found in the New Testament, paralleling the Hebrew concept of פַלֵּט. They are often used in the context of spiritual salvation and the deliverance offered through Jesus Christ.

Usage: The verb פַלֵּט (pallet) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of escaping or being delivered from danger or distress. It often conveys the idea of being saved or rescued from a perilous situation.

Context: The Hebrew verb פַלֵּט (pallet) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily in the poetic and prophetic books. It is often used to describe God's deliverance of His people from their enemies or from impending doom. The term emphasizes the act of escaping or being set free, often by divine intervention.

In the Psalms, פַלֵּט is frequently used to express a plea for deliverance or a declaration of God's saving power. For example, in Psalm 71:2 (BSB), the psalmist cries out, "In Your righteousness, deliver me and rescue me; incline Your ear to me and save me." Here, the verb underscores the psalmist's reliance on God's righteousness for deliverance.

The prophetic literature also employs פַלֵּט to convey themes of salvation and escape. In Isaiah 20:6 (BSB), the prophet speaks of those who will say, "See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?" This usage highlights the futility of relying on human strength for deliverance, contrasting it with the ultimate deliverance that comes from God.

The concept of פַלֵּט is integral to the biblical narrative of redemption, illustrating the recurring theme of God's intervention to save His people. It serves as a reminder of the divine promise of deliverance and the hope of escape from both physical and spiritual adversities.
