Strong's Lexicon peletah: Escape, deliverance, remnant Original Word: פְּלֵיטָה Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַט (palat), meaning "to escape" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1295 (διασωζω, diasozo): To save thoroughly, to bring safely through - G3005 (λειμμα, leimma): Remnant Usage: The term "peletah" primarily refers to the concept of escape or deliverance, often in the context of a remnant that survives a calamity or judgment. It is used to describe those who are spared or delivered from destruction, emphasizing God's mercy and faithfulness in preserving a group of people. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the idea of a remnant was significant, especially for Israel. The concept of "peletah" is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people. Throughout Israel's history, despite periods of judgment and exile, God consistently preserved a faithful remnant. This theme is prevalent in the prophetic literature, where the survival of a remnant serves as a testament to God's enduring promises and His plan for redemption.
