Strong's Lexicon pada: To redeem, to ransom, to deliver Original Word: פָדַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3084 (λυτρόω, lutroo) - to release on receipt of ransom, to redeem - G629 (ἀπολύτρωσις, apolutrosis) - redemption, deliverance Usage: The Hebrew verb "pada" primarily means to redeem or ransom, often in the context of delivering someone from bondage or danger. It conveys the idea of a price being paid to secure freedom or release. In the Old Testament, "pada" is frequently used to describe God's redemptive actions on behalf of His people, Israel, particularly in delivering them from slavery or oppression. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of redemption was deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric. Redemption often involved a kinsman-redeemer, a family member who would buy back property or free a relative from slavery. This practice was rooted in the Mosaic Law, which provided guidelines for maintaining family inheritance and freedom. Theologically, "pada" reflects God's covenantal faithfulness and His role as the ultimate Redeemer of His people, foreshadowing the redemptive work of Christ in the New Testament.
