they took flight
| Root | נוס (n-w-s) |
| Core Meanings | to flee, take flight, escape, vanish, be driven away |
| Semantic Range | to flee from danger, escape pursuit, retreat, vanish from sight, be routed; in other stems, to cause to flee, drive away, or put to flight. |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in contexts of battle, divine judgment, or fear, נוס highlights human vulnerability and urgent retreat. It can also frame theological themes of refuge—what one flees from and where one seeks safety—underscoring reliance on YHWH as the ultimate place of escape. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect 3rd person common plural from the root נוס. The Qal stem expresses the simple action of fleeing or taking flight; perfect aspect denotes completed action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd person common plural, indicating a completed action performed by “they.” “They took flight” preserves the core image of sudden movement away from danger inherent in נוס while accurately reflecting the plural subject and simple (Qal) stem. |
