Strong's Lexicon chalats: To draw out, to deliver, to equip, to rescue Original Word: חָלַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4506 (rhyomai): To rescue, deliver - G4982 (sozo): To save, deliver, preserve Usage: The Hebrew verb "chalats" primarily conveys the action of drawing out or delivering. It is often used in contexts where someone is being rescued or delivered from danger or distress. Additionally, it can imply equipping or preparing, particularly in a military sense. The term is versatile, appearing in various forms to describe physical, spiritual, and metaphorical deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of deliverance was deeply embedded in the collective consciousness, often associated with God's intervention on behalf of His people. The Israelites frequently found themselves in situations requiring divine rescue, whether from physical enemies, spiritual oppression, or moral failings. The term "chalats" reflects this recurring theme of deliverance and preparation, underscoring the belief in God's active role in the lives of His people.
