To come out victorious against someone stronger or greater.

Where else “yuchlu” appears

declaration

Solemn words God himself speaks: "oracle of YHWH".

Where else “neum” appears
YHWHיְהוָהyehva

YHWH

The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

Where else “yehva” appears
to rescue youהַצִּילֶhatsile

rescue

To take someone out of danger or out of his enemy's hands.

Where else “hatsile” appears
