SALVATION — but concretely: rescue, being got out of danger, victory. 'Stand firm and see the YESHUAH of Jehovah' (Exodus 14:13) is not about the afterlife; it is about an army behind and water ahead. ⚠️ The root gives the names JOSHUA (Yehoshua, 'Jehovah saves') and, through Greek, JESUS — so the angel's explanation in Matthew 1:21, 'you shall call his name Jesus, for he will SAVE his people,' is a play on the name in Hebrew that the Greek cannot show. Keep the concrete sense in view when the word appears: Israel's vocabulary for being saved was built at a seashore. → first discussed at Exod 14:13
