The Greek word βοηθός (boēthos) in Hebrews 13:6 means "helper" or "one who aids/assists." It’s derived from boē ("a cry for help") and theō ("to run"), suggesting someone who "runs to aid" in response to a need.

In Hebrews 13:6, the verse quotes Psalm 118:6 (LXX), saying, “The Lord is my *helper (boēthos); I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Here, boēthos refers to God as the reliable, powerful helper who provides support and protection, giving believers confidence against human threats.

"But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, to repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless." Psalm 10:14.
