Strong's Lexicon geullah: Redemption Original Word: גְּאֻלָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאַל (ga'al), meaning "to redeem" or "to act as a kinsman-redeemer." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G629 (ἀπολύτρωσις, apolutrōsis) - Refers to redemption or deliverance, often used in the New Testament to describe the redemptive work of Christ. - G3085 (λυτρόω, lutroō) - To release on receipt of ransom, to redeem. Usage: The term "geullah" refers to the act of redemption or the right of redemption. It is often used in the context of a kinsman-redeemer, a close relative who has the responsibility to redeem a family member in distress, such as buying back property or marrying a widow to preserve the family line. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of redemption was deeply rooted in the family and tribal structure. The kinsman-redeemer (go'el) played a crucial role in maintaining the social and economic stability of the family. This practice ensured that land remained within the family and that the family name continued. The laws concerning redemption are detailed in Leviticus 25 and the account of Ruth and Boaz in the Book of Ruth provides a narrative example of this practice.
