It conveys the idea of seeking safety and security, often in a divine context, where God is seen as a protector and a safe haven for His people. This word emphasizes trust and reliance on God's provision and care.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of refuge was significant both physically and spiritually. Cities of refuge were established as safe havens for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, reflecting the broader cultural importance of protection and sanctuary. Spiritually, the Israelites viewed God as their ultimate refuge, a theme prevalent throughout the Psalms and prophetic writings. This reflects a deep-seated belief in God's sovereignty and His role as a protector of His covenant people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2620.htm">chasah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>refuge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>shelter (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חָסוּת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>refuge</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">וְהֶחָסוּת בְּצֵל מִצְרַיִם</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-3.htm">Isaiah 30:3</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">מָעוֺז מַּרְעֹה</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>trust <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2620.htm">chacah</a>; confidence -- trust. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2620.htm">chacah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְהֶחָס֥וּת והחסות vehechaSut wə·he·ḥā·sūṯ wəheḥāsūṯ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/30-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 30:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">פַּרְעֹ֖ה לְבֹ֑שֶׁת <b> וְהֶחָס֥וּת </b> בְּצֵל־ מִצְרַ֖יִם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> will be your shame <span class="itali">And the shelter</span> in the shadow<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> be your shame, <span class="itali">and the trust</span> in the shadow<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of Pharaoh will be your shame <span class="itali">and the shelter</span> the shadow of Egypt<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2622.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2622.htm">Strong's Hebrew 2622<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vehechasut_2622.htm">wə·he·ḥā·sūṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/2621.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2621"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2621" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2623.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2623"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2623" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
