Strong's Lexicon nus: To flee, escape, take flight, retreat Original Word: נוּס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5343 (pheugo): To flee, escape - G1628 (ekpheugo): To flee out, escape Usage: The Hebrew verb "nus" primarily means to flee or escape. It is often used in the context of physical flight from danger or pursuit. The term can also imply a retreat or withdrawal in the face of an enemy or threat. In a broader sense, it can denote seeking refuge or safety. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of fleeing was often associated with warfare, where retreating from a stronger enemy was a common tactic. The idea of seeking refuge is also deeply embedded in the cultural and religious practices of the time, with cities of refuge established for those seeking asylum from avengers. The act of fleeing could also symbolize a spiritual or moral escape from sin or evil.
