Essential Studies.
Leviticus 25, Redemption in the year of Jubilee
The cognate words will help us find the Hebrew Root Word parable for גאל ga’al , Strong’s H1350, “to redeem, to buy back.” The most common of them has the meaning of “to roll; round,” with others signifying round objects, or a circle, because to walk (gimel) as authority (aleph) has taught us (lamed) to walk, is to observe the holy days through the circle of the year, year after year. Inherent in this concept is something coming around again for a second time. To redeem, then, is to let someone or something see another day, to return to their life again, to receive a second chance.
“Redemption” is the abstract concept, from the verbal root “to redeem.” The concrete noun between them is the kinsman-redeemer, the next of kin who redeems his relative if he comes into bondage or if he must sell his inheritance in a time of poverty. The kinsman-redeemer gives their kinsman a second chance. For us, YHVH Himself has stepped in, in Messiah Yeshua, and made Himself our Kinsman-Redeemer.
