Strong's Lexicon pidyowm: Redemption, ransom Original Word: פִדְיוֹם Word Origin: Derived from the root פדה (padah), meaning "to ransom" or "to redeem." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3085 (λυτρόω, lutroo): To release on receipt of ransom, to redeem. - G629 (ἀπολύτρωσις, apolutrosis): Redemption, deliverance. Usage: The term "pidyowm" refers to the concept of redemption or ransom, particularly in the context of delivering or freeing someone or something through a payment or exchange. It is often used in the context of redeeming firstborn sons, animals, or land, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of redemption was deeply embedded in the religious and social fabric. The firstborn of both humans and animals were considered sacred to the Lord and required redemption. This practice was a reminder of God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt, where the firstborn of the Egyptians were struck down. The act of redemption symbolized God's ownership and the people's dedication to Him. The payment of a ransom or redemption price was a tangible expression of this spiritual truth.
