Usage: The verb נוּס (nus) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of fleeing or escaping, often in the context of battle or danger. It conveys a sense of urgency and rapid departure, sometimes implying fear or the need for immediate safety. Context: • The Hebrew verb נוּס (nus) appears frequently in the Old Testament, often in narratives involving conflict or divine intervention. It is used to describe the physical act of fleeing from danger or pursuing enemies. For example, in Genesis 14:10, the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled (נָסוּ) during battle. In Exodus 14:25, the Egyptians attempted to flee (נָס) from the Israelites as the LORD fought for them. • The term also appears in metaphorical contexts, such as fleeing from sin or evil. In Proverbs 28:1, it is written, "The wicked flee (נָסוּ) when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." • The concept of fleeing is not only physical but can also be spiritual or moral, indicating a departure from unrighteousness or danger. • In the prophetic literature, נוּס is used to describe the scattering of nations or the flight of individuals in the face of divine judgment, as seen in Isaiah 10:3, "What will you do on the day of reckoning, when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee (תָּנוּסוּ) for help?"
