Usage
The Hebrew verb "pacach" primarily means "to pass over" or "to spare." It is most famously associated with the Passover event in the book of Exodus, where the Lord "passed over" the houses of the Israelites that had the blood of the lamb on their doorposts, sparing them from the plague of the firstborn. The term conveys the idea of divine protection and deliverance.
