Save, saving

Both 'save' and 'saving (from Fr. saiif, its force being seen in saiif vmn (Iruit, ' my right being reserved,' see Skeat, Elijmol. Diet. 3.V.), in the sense of exixvt, frequently occur in AV. Thus Ps 18" ' For w-ho is Uod save the Lord ?

' ; Lk 18'" ' None is good, save one, that is God ' ; Dt 15^ ' Save when there shall be no poor among you'; Ac 20-^ 'Save that the Holy tihost witnesseth in every city'; Neh 4''^ 'None of us put oil' our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing'; Ec 5" 'What good is there to the owners thereof, saving (Dx •?) the [beholding] of them with their eyes ? ' The phrase ' to save one alive ' (Gn 1212 ijoa), Ex ll'- 18 22 etc.)

is used 8ynon>-mously with 'to Iceep one alive' (Gn 61^-20 "a^ Jos 1410 etc.), or 'to preserve one alive' (Dt &^), the Heb. being a causative form of .i;n 'to be alive.' Cf. -Mt 281-' Tind. ' If this come to the rulers earea, we wyll pease him, and save you harmeles.' J. HASTINGS. SAYIAS (B cm., A Zaovlas), lE8 8''=U2zi, an ancestor of Ezra ; cf. Ezr 7*.
