Strong's Lexicon paliyt: Refugee, fugitive, escapee Original Word: פָלִיט Word Origin: From the root פָּלַט (palat), meaning "to escape" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5343 (pheugo) - to flee, escape - G2689 (katapheugo) - to flee for refuge Usage: The Hebrew word "paliyt" refers to someone who has escaped or fled from danger, often used in the context of war or disaster. It denotes a person who has survived a calamity and is seeking refuge or safety. In the biblical narrative, it often describes those who have escaped from battle or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a "paliyt" was significant due to the frequent conflicts and wars. Cities of refuge were established as safe havens for those who accidentally caused death, allowing them to escape the avenger of blood. The idea of seeking refuge is deeply embedded in the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites, reflecting their understanding of God's protection and deliverance.
