Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4991 (σωτηρία, soteria): Salvation

- G3528 (νίκη, nike): Victory

Usage: The Hebrew word "teshuah" primarily denotes salvation or deliverance, often in the context of divine intervention or victory over enemies. It is used to describe the act of being saved or delivered, particularly by God, and can also imply a sense of triumph or victory. In the Old Testament, "teshuah" is frequently associated with God's saving acts on behalf of His people, Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of salvation was deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people. Deliverance was not only seen as a physical rescue from enemies or peril but also as a spiritual act of God's faithfulness and mercy. The Israelites often celebrated God's deliverance through songs, psalms, and communal worship, recognizing Him as their ultimate Savior and Deliverer.
