SIBI-P1 H1350-19
kinsman-redeemer
| Root | גאל (g-ʾ-l) |
| Core Meanings | to redeem, reclaim, act as kinsman, avenge, restore family rights |
| Semantic Range | family redeemer, restorer of property, purchaser of alienated land, levirate protector, blood-avenger, deliverer |
| Conceptual Significance | In Israelite law and theology, the גֹּאֵל embodies covenant loyalty within the kinship structure—restoring land, lineage, and justice. The term is also applied to YHWH as Israel’s Redeemer, portraying Him as the faithful Kinsman who rescues, restores, and vindicates His people. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular (absolute or construct). Functions substantivally to denote the man who performs the duty of redemption or blood-vengeance within the clan. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form גֹּאֵל is a Qal active participle masculine singular, denoting "one who is redeeming" or "one who acts as next of kin." "Kinsman-redeemer" preserves both the familial-legal force of the root גאל and the active participial sense, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular form. |
