Strong's Lexicon peduth: Redemption, Deliverance Original Word: פְדוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּדָה (padah), meaning "to ransom" or "to redeem." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G629 (ἀπολύτρωσις, apolutrōsis) - Refers to redemption or release effected by payment of ransom. - G3085 (λυτρόω, lutroō) - To release on receipt of ransom, to redeem. Usage: The term "peduth" refers to the act of redemption or deliverance, often in the context of God rescuing His people from bondage or danger. It conveys the idea of being set free or liberated, typically through a payment or a divine act of salvation. In the Old Testament, it is frequently associated with God's intervention to save Israel from physical or spiritual captivity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of redemption was deeply rooted in the cultural and religious practices. Redemption often involved a kinsman-redeemer, a family member who would buy back property or free a relative from slavery. This practice was a reflection of God's covenant relationship with Israel, where He is portrayed as the ultimate Redeemer who delivers His people from oppression and sin. The idea of redemption is central to the Jewish understanding of God's faithfulness and mercy.
