Strong's Lexicon palat: To deliver, to rescue, to escape Original Word: פָלַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4506 (rhyomai): To rescue, deliver - G4982 (sozo): To save, deliver, preserve Usage: The Hebrew verb "palat" primarily conveys the action of delivering or rescuing someone from danger or distress. It is often used in contexts where divine intervention is implied, highlighting God's role as a deliverer. The term can also refer to the act of escaping from a perilous situation, emphasizing the successful evasion of harm. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of deliverance was deeply intertwined with the belief in divine protection and intervention. The Israelites often found themselves in situations where they needed deliverance, whether from physical enemies, natural disasters, or spiritual oppression. The use of "palat" in the Hebrew Bible reflects a worldview where God is seen as a powerful and active deliverer, capable of saving His people from any threat.
