Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of fleeing or escaping can be related to Greek verbs such as "φεύγω" (pheugō - Strong's G5343), which also means to flee or escape.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "nush" primarily conveys the action of fleeing or escaping. It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are seeking to avoid danger, capture, or confrontation. The term can imply a sense of urgency and desperation, highlighting the need for immediate action to avoid peril.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of fleeing was significant, especially in the context of warfare, persecution, or divine judgment.

The act of fleeing could also be seen as a response to God's judgment or as a means of seeking refuge and safety.
