Strong's Lexicon pid: Redemption, ransom Original Word: פִיד Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּדָה (padah), which means "to ransom" or "to redeem." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is λύτρον (lutron), which also means "ransom" or "redemption." This is seen in passages like Matthew 20:28, where Jesus speaks of giving His life as a ransom for many. Usage: The Hebrew word "pid" refers to the concept of redemption or ransom, often in the context of delivering or freeing someone from bondage or captivity. It is used to describe the act of buying back or liberating someone, typically through a payment or substitution. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of redemption was deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric. The practice of redeeming a family member from slavery or debt was common, reflecting the communal responsibility and familial loyalty. Theologically, redemption is a central theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, symbolizing God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt and His ongoing commitment to save His people. The idea of redemption also foreshadows the ultimate redemption through the Messiah.
