Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּדָה (padah), which means "to ransom" or "to redeem."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3084 • λύτρον (lytron): Refers to a ransom or the price paid for redemption.
• Strong's Greek Number 629 • ἀπολύτρωσις (apolytrōsis): Refers to redemption or deliverance, often used in the New Testament to describe the redemptive work of Christ.

The concept of ransom and redemption is a profound theological theme that runs throughout the biblical narrative, illustrating God's grace and mercy in delivering His people and restoring them to Himself.

Usage: The word פָדוּי (pādûy) is used in the context of redemption, often referring to the act of being set free or delivered from bondage or captivity through a ransom.

Context: The Hebrew term פָדוּי (pādûy) is closely associated with the concept of redemption in the Old Testament. It is used to describe individuals or items that have been redeemed or ransomed, typically through a monetary payment or a sacrificial act. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where God is often depicted as the Redeemer who delivers His people from slavery, oppression, or sin.

In the Old Testament, the act of redemption is a central theme, particularly in the context of the Exodus, where God redeems the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. The term פָדוּי (pādûy) underscores the theological significance of God's intervention in human history to restore and liberate His chosen people.

The concept of ransom and redemption is further developed in the prophetic literature, where it is often used metaphorically to describe God's future deliverance of Israel. The idea of being "ransomed" or "redeemed" is not only a physical liberation but also a spiritual renewal and restoration to a right relationship with God.
