Error is often birthed when you start to interpret and look for a deeper meaning on things that are pretty straightforward. 

God: "Run away!"
You: "You see, in the Greek vulgate, the expression "run away" is the word "runio" and "awei," which means a reunion with your original self. It doesn't actually mean to "run away from" but to "run towards." It's also where Huawei gets the "awei" from, but I don't have time to unpack that." 

Bro, No need to sound Deep, just "Run away"!

The best and most literal biblical example of someone fleeing temptation is found in Genesis 39 when young Joseph, Jacob’s son, was targeted by his master’s wife for an adulterous affair. 

She tempted him day after day, but Joseph held firm to his convictions and rebuffed her advances. Not only did he refuse to go to bed with her, but he wisely refused to “even be with her” (Genesis 39:10). 

But one day when no one else was in the house, she caught Joseph and pulled him to her, trying to seduce him: “She caught him by his cloak and said, ‘Come to bed with me!’ But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house” (verse 12). 

That is an excellent example of fleeing from temptation. Joseph did not stand around to argue or give himself time to reconsider. He fled.
