Strong's Lexicon mishi: Support, refuge, or salvation. Original Word: מִשְׁעִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁעָה (sha'ah), which means to look or gaze. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is σωτηρία (soteria), which means salvation or deliverance. Usage: The term "mishi" is used to denote a sense of support or refuge, often in the context of divine salvation or deliverance. It conveys the idea of God being a place of safety and protection for His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of refuge was deeply significant. Cities of refuge were established as places where individuals could seek asylum. Similarly, God was often depicted as a refuge for His people, a place of safety amidst the trials and tribulations of life. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of deities as protectors and providers of security.
