'Flees' in the Bible
“I will put anxiety in the hearts of those of you who survive in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a wind-driven leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as one flees from a sword, and fall though no one is pursuing them.
Neither should you accept a ransom for the person who flees to his city of refuge, allowing him to return and live in the land before the death of the high priest.
“Here is the law concerning a case of someone who kills a person and flees there to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally without previously hating him:
But if someone hates his neighbor, lies in ambush for him, attacks him, and strikes him fatally, and flees to one of these cities,
When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before the elders of that city, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.
He blossoms like a flower, then withers;he flees like a shadow and does not last.
If he flees from an iron weapon,an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.
It blasts at him without mercy,while he flees desperately from its grasp.
Give us counsel and make a decision.Shelter us at noondaywith shade that is as dark as night.Hide the refugees;do not betray the one who flees.
Whoever flees at the sound of panicwill fall into a pit,and whoever escapes from the pitwill be caught in a trap.For the windows are opened from heaven,and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
Every city fleesat the sound of the horseman and the archer.They enter the thicketsand climb among the rocks.Every city is abandoned;no inhabitant is left.
He who flees from the panic will fall in the pit,and he who climbs from the pitwill be captured in the trap,for I will bring against Moabthe year of their punishment.This is the Lord’s declaration.
It will be like a man who flees from a liononly to have a bear confront him.He goes home and rests his hand against the wallonly to have a snake bite him.
