It conveys a sense of urgency and necessity in avoiding a perilous situation. The term implies not just a physical escape but can also denote a spiritual or moral evasion from sin or divine wrath.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fleeing or escaping was often associated with military contexts, where soldiers might retreat from battle to avoid capture or death. In a broader sense, it also applied to individuals seeking refuge from legal or social persecution. Within the Jewish context, the idea of escaping divine judgment was a significant theme, reflecting the belief in God's deliverance of the righteous.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/5343.htm">pheugó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to flee away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>escape (5), escaped (2), fled (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1628: ἐκφεύγω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκφεύγω</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">ἐκφεύξομαι</span>; perfect <span class="greek2">ἐκπεφευγα</span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξέφυγον</span>; (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <span class="accented">to flee out of, flee away</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to seek safety in flight</span>; absolutely <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-27.htm">Acts 16:27</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">οἴκου</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/19-16.htm">Acts 19:16</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to escape</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/5-3.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/2-3.htm">Hebrews 2:3</a>; <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/21-36.htm">Luke 21:36</a>; <a href="/interlinear/romans/2-3.htm">Romans 2:3</a>; <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-25.htm">Hebrews 12:25</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; (<span class="greek2">τάς</span> <span class="greek2">χεῖρας</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/11-33.htm">2 Corinthians 11:33</a>.
