Where Does the Bible First Mention Salvation / Yeshua?
The Bible first mentions salvation / yeshua in Genesis 49:18, from the original word yeshua (ישׁועה). 'I wait for your salvation, O LORD'—Jacob's cry introduces yeshua (salvation, deliverance). This Hebrew word becomes the name Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew), revealing that salvation is not abstract theology but a Person.
