Rescue!
| Root | מלט (m-l-ṭ) |
| Core Meanings | smoothness, slipperiness, escape, deliverance, rescue, release |
| Semantic Range | to escape, to slip away, to rescue, to deliver, to release, to preserve from danger, to bring forth (by extension) |
| Conceptual Significance | The root conveys deliverance as a slipping free from danger or confinement, emphasizing divine or human intervention that causes escape. It often expresses urgent appeal for salvation, highlighting the biblical theme of being brought out from peril by decisive action. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperative, masculine singular, from the root מלט. The doubled ל marks the intensive/causative Piel stem. Appears twice in this imperative form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מַלֵּט is a Piel imperative masculine singular from מלט. The Piel stem gives a causative or intensive force to the root idea of "slipping away," thus "cause to slip free" or "rescue." The imperative addresses a single masculine subject, reflected in the singular command "Rescue!" |
