יֶשַׁע

yeshaʻ · Hebrew · Strong's H3468 · 36 occurrences

The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “salvation”

What it means

liberty, deliverance, prosperity

or יֵשַׁע; from H3467 (יָשַׁע);

How the KJV renders it

safety, salvation, saving

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

salvation
also renders sōtēría (G4991), sōtḗrion (G4992), tᵉshûwʻâh (H8668)
saving
also renders parektós (G3924), peripoíēsis (G4047), sōtēría (G4991)
safety
also renders aspháleia (G803), tᵉshûwʻâh (H8668)
