Usage: The Hebrew verb "padah" primarily means to redeem or ransom. It conveys the idea of delivering or rescuing someone or something from a state of bondage or danger, often through the payment of a price. In the Old Testament, "padah" is frequently used in the context of God's deliverance of His people, whether from physical captivity or spiritual bondage.

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 (go'el) who had the responsibility to redeem a relative in distress, whether by buying back land, freeing them from slavery, or avenging blood. This cultural practice is reflected in the broader theological theme of God's redemptive work for Israel, particularly in the Exodus narrative where God redeems His people from slavery in Egypt.
