Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root פדה (padah), which means "to ransom" or "to redeem." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3083 (λύτρον, lytron): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote a ransom or the price paid for redemption. It is often associated with the sacrificial death of Christ, who gave His life as a ransom for many (e.g., Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45). • G3085 (λυτρόω, lytróō): This verb means "to release on receipt of ransom" or "to redeem." It is used to describe the act of freeing someone by paying a ransom, reflecting the redemptive work of Christ in the New Testament (e.g., Titus 2:14, 1 Peter 1:18). The concept of פִדְיוֹם (pidyom) in the Hebrew Bible and its Greek counterparts in the New Testament highlight the continuity of the theme of redemption throughout the Scriptures, emphasizing God's provision for liberation and restoration through a sacrificial price. Usage: The word פִדְיוֹם appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to the concept of redemption, particularly in the sense of a price paid to liberate or redeem a person or object. It is often associated with the redemption of the firstborn or the liberation of captives. Context: פִדְיוֹם (pidyom) is a noun that signifies the act of redemption through the payment of a ransom. In the Old Testament, the concept of ransom is deeply rooted in the legal and religious practices of ancient Israel. The term is used to describe the price paid for the redemption of the firstborn sons, as mandated in the Mosaic Law. For instance, in Exodus 13:13, the Israelites are instructed to redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if not redeemed, the donkey's neck must be broken. Similarly, the firstborn sons are to be redeemed, underscoring the principle that life is sacred and belongs to God. The idea of ransom is also evident in the context of freeing individuals from slavery or captivity. The payment of a ransom serves as a means of restoring freedom and rights to those who have been bound or held. This reflects the broader theological theme of God's redemptive work, where He acts as the ultimate redeemer of His people, liberating them from bondage and sin. The concept of פִדְיוֹם is not only a legal transaction but also carries a profound spiritual significance, symbolizing God's mercy and the restoration of relationships. It prefigures the ultimate redemption through Christ, who is seen as the ransom for humanity's sins.
