   All five occurrences use a masculine plural absolute form for a group marked by escape from a destructive situation. In Isaiah 66:19 the APB renders people sent from among those receiving a sign as “survivors” sent to distant nations; in Jeremiah 50:28 they come from Babylon to declare vengeance in Zion, and in Jeremiah 51:50 they are addressed as those “from the sword.” Jeremiah 44:14 places them as the stated exception to those who will not return to Judah, while Numbers 21:29 describes sons given over as “fugitives.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the group as “survivors” and “fugitives,” including “Survivors from the sword.” These renderings confirm the verses' escape-and-aftermath setting rather than establishing separate meanings.
