Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is φεύγω (pheugō), Strong's Greek #5343, which also means to flee or escape.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "benas" is used to describe the act of fleeing or escaping from danger or pursuit. It conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, often in the context of seeking safety or deliverance from a threatening situation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of fleeing was often associated with warfare, persecution, or divine judgment.

The act of fleeing could also symbolize a turning away from sin or idolatry, seeking refuge in God's protection.
