- διασώζω diasṓzō · G1295 · to save, to rescue, to heal
- Greek διασώζω (diasōzō) translates Hebrew פָּלִיט (pāliṭ) where the LXX renders the concept of escaping/surviving catastrophe as 'saving through' — both denote preservation from destruction, with the Greek emphasizing the thoroughness of the rescue and the Hebrew focusing on the survivor/fugitive status of those who escaped.
- σώζω sṓzō · G4982 · to deliver, to rescue, to make safe
- Greek σώζω emphasizes the act of saving/delivering (verbal action), while Hebrew פָּלִיט emphasizes the state/result of having escaped (nominal/participial form describing survivors or fugitives).
- διαφεύγω diapheúgō · G1309 · to flee successfully, to escape by fleeing, to escape
- פָּלִיט (pâlîyṭ, H6412) פָּלִיט denotes one who escapes or the abstract state of escape (noun); διαφεύγω (diapheúgō, G1309) διαφεύγω denotes the action of escaping through or away (verb).
