H3444 noun

SILEX Entry

Root ישׁע to deliver, to save, to rescue

Definition

Deliverance or rescue from peril, oppression, or distress; also the resulting state of safety, well-being, or victory. The term is used of both physical and metaphorical deliverance—whether from military threat, illness, personal danger, or existential peril—and thus can indicate acts of saving, the reality of being saved, or the condition of security and welfare resulting from such deliverance.

Semantic Range

deliverance from danger or adversity, rescue, salvation in the sense of being saved, victory (especially military), welfare, well-being, safety, rescue from illness, help or aid

Root / Etymology

From the verb יָשַׁע (yashaʿ), meaning 'to deliver,' 'to save,' or 'to rescue.' יְשׁוּעָה is a feminine noun formation indicating the action or result of deliverance. Its core sense derives from personal or communal rescue from distress or danger, but its application can be extended to include well-being or victory as a consequence of such salvation.

Historical & Contextual Notes

In the patriarchal and early monarchic periods, יְשׁוּעָה was chiefly used in the context of military deliverance—often attributing rescue from enemies to the deity as the ultimate deliverer. In subsequent eras (including the exilic and post-exilic), the term expands to encompass personal deliverance from illness or misfortune, as well as communal restoration from exile. The notion of יְשׁוּעָה is usually concrete and situational in the Hebrew Bible, and should not be confused with later, more abstract or exclusively spiritual understandings of 'salvation.' English translations sometimes narrow the sense to 'salvation,' but in biblical usage, the semantic scope includes victory, rescue, and well-being. Related Hebrew terms such as תְּשׁוּעָה (teshuʿah, 'deliverance, victory') or הוֹשָׁעָה (hoshaʿah, 'deliverance') often overlap with יְשׁוּעָה, but may emphasize different nuances, such as immediacy, communal versus personal focus, or particular modes of rescue. While later translation traditions often render יְשׁוּעָה as 'salvation,' this should be understood within the concrete context of deliverance in the Hebrew Bible.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

feminine passive participle of יָשַׁע; something saved, i.e. (abstractly) deliverance; hence, aid, victory, prosperity; deliverance, health, help(-ing), salvation, save, saving (health), welfare.
