What is the concept of “redemption”?

The term redemption (gᵉ’ǔllāh) represents a biblical concept that derives from a Hebrew verb which means to redeem or to ransom. The word is generally used to speak about the obligations of a near relative in a family. If a kinsman gets into difficulty or danger, the near relative is to redeem his relative from the situation. In summary, Currid writes, Redemption is a process by which something that has been alienated may be restored by a kinsman.¹
