Urgent haste or hurried flight, often with overtones of fear or trepidation. The word appears in contexts of rapid departure, whether fleeing danger or acting under pressure. Exodus uses it for Israel's hurried exodus from Egypt, when they had to eat the Passover ready to flee. Deuteronomy connects it with the bread of affliction, reminding Israel of their hasty escape. Isaiah contrasts Israel's future exodus with their Egyptian departure, promising they won't leave in haste or panic. The term captures both speed and the emotional urgency driving it.
