Strong's Lexicon Yoshah: Salvation, deliverance Original Word: יוֹשָׁה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Yowshah Pronunciation: yo-SHAH Phonetic Spelling: (yo-shaw') Definition: Salvation, deliverance Meaning: Joshah Word Origin: Derived from the root יָשַׁע (yasha), which means "to save" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is σωτηρία (soteria), which also means salvation or deliverance. This term is found in passages such as Luke 1:69, "He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David." Usage: The term "Yoshah" is used to denote salvation or deliverance, often in the context of divine intervention. It reflects the act of being saved from danger or distress, typically by God. In the Hebrew Bible, it is frequently associated with God's saving acts on behalf of Israel, whether from physical enemies or spiritual peril. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of salvation was deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people. Salvation was not merely a personal or spiritual experience but a communal and national one. It often involved deliverance from physical threats, such as enemies or natural disasters, and was seen as a demonstration of God's faithfulness to His covenant promises. The idea of salvation also carried eschatological overtones, pointing to a future time of ultimate deliverance and restoration.
