Berean Strong's Lexicon agorazó: To buy, purchase, redeem Original Word: ἀγοράζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: agorazó Pronunciation: ag-or-AD-zo Phonetic Spelling: (ag-or-ad'-zo) Definition: To buy, purchase, redeem Meaning: I buy. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7069 - קָנָה (qanah): To acquire, buy, purchase - H1350 - גָּאַל (ga'al): To redeem, act as a kinsman-redeemer Usage: The verb ἀγοράζω primarily means "to buy" or "to purchase." In the New Testament, it is used both in the literal sense of buying goods or services and in a metaphorical sense, particularly in reference to redemption. The term conveys the idea of acquiring something through a transaction, often implying a cost or price paid. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the agora was the central public space in city-states, serving as a marketplace and a place for assemblies. The act of buying and selling in the agora was a common daily activity. In the New Testament context, the concept of purchasing extends beyond mere economic transactions to include the theological idea of redemption, where Christ's sacrificial death is seen as the price paid to redeem believers from sin. HELPS Word-studies 59 agorázō (from 58 /agorá, "the ancient marketplace, town-center") – properly, to make purchases in the marketplace ("agora"), i.e. as ownership transfers from seller to buyer. 59 /agorázō ("acquire by purchasing") stresses transfer – i.e. where something becomes another's belonging (possession). In salvation-contexts, 59 (agorázō) is not redeeming ("buying back"), but rather focuses on how the believer now belongs to the Lord as His unique possession (J. Thayer). Indeed, Christ purchases all the privileges and responsibilities that go with belonging to Him (being in Christ). [See also the intensified, compound (1805 /eksagorázō).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from agora Definition to buy in the marketplace, purchase NASB Translation bought (9), buy (11), buying (3), buys (2), make the purchase (1), purchased (3), spend (1).

He is also said to have bought them for God ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ, by shedding his blood, Revelation 5:9; they, too, are spoken of as purchased ἀπό τῆς γῆς, Revelation 14:3, and ἀπό τῶν ἀνθρώπων, Revelation 14:4, so that they are withdrawn from the earth (and its miseries) and from (wicked) men.
