Heb. goel; i.e., one charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs (Lev. 25:48, Lev. 25: 49; Num. 5:8; Ruth 4:1; Job 19:25; Psa 19:14;78:35, 78: etc.). This title is peculiarly applied to Christ. He redeems us from all evil by the payment of a ransom (q.v.). (See REDEMPTION.)
