to ransom
| Root | פדה (p-d-h) |
| Core Meanings | to sever, to ransom, to redeem, to release, to rescue by payment or substitution |
| Semantic Range | to ransom by payment, to redeem from bondage, to rescue from danger, to deliver by substitution, to preserve from destruction |
| Conceptual Significance | פדה is central to Israel’s theology of redemption, especially in the Exodus where YHWH "ransoms" Israel from slavery. It underlies the concepts of substitution, covenantal deliverance, and the role of the kinsman-redeemer, framing salvation as a costly act of release. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of פדה with prefixed preposition ל ("to"). Active voice, expressing purpose or result: "to ransom / to redeem." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לִפְדּוֹת is a Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל, meaning "to" perform the action of the root. The rendering "to ransom" preserves the core idea of פדה as effecting release by means of payment or substitution, while accurately reflecting the infinitive verbal form. |
