SIBI-P1 H1350-26
to act as kinsman-redeemer
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל preposition; expresses purpose or result ("to/for acting as kinsman-redeemer"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to") expresses the simple active sense of the root גאל. Rendering it as "to act as kinsman-redeemer" preserves the core idea of fulfilling the duty of the next-of-kin—buying back, restoring, or avenging—rather than the more generalized "to redeem." |
