Rootפדה (p-d-h)
Core Meaningsto sever, to ransom, to redeem, to release by payment, to rescue
Semantic Rangeto ransom from captivity, to redeem from debt or slavery, to rescue from danger or death, to preserve by intervention
Conceptual Significanceפדה is a key redemption term in the Hebrew Bible, often describing YHWH’s act of delivering Israel from slavery or peril. It frames salvation as a costly act of liberation, emphasizing covenantal responsibility and divine intervention on behalf of the redeemed.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 1st person common singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; simple active stem expressing incomplete or future action directed toward "them."
Rendering RationaleThe root פדה conveys the act of securing release by severing someone from bondage through payment or intervention. The Qal imperfect 1st person common singular with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix is accurately reflected as "I will ransom them," preserving both the active verbal force and the plural object.
