Key entries include:<p> - <b>Strong's Hebrew 1350:</b> גָּאַל (ga'al) - to redeem, act as kinsman-redeemer<p> - <b>Strong's Hebrew 6304:</b> פָּדָה (padah) - to ransom, redeem<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb "exagorazó" primarily means to redeem or buy back, often with the connotation of freeing from bondage or captivity. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe Christ's redemptive work in freeing believers from the curse of the law and sin. It also conveys the idea of making the most of an opportunity, particularly in the context of time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the marketplace (agora) was a central hub for commerce and trade. The concept of redemption was well understood in terms of buying back slaves or goods. In Jewish culture, redemption was a significant theological concept, deeply rooted in the idea of God redeeming Israel from slavery in Egypt. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, used this term to illustrate the spiritual redemption accomplished through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1805</b> <i>eksagorázō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "completely <i>out from</i>" which intensifies <a href="/greek/59.htm">59</a> <i>/agorázō</i>, "buy-up at the marketplace") – properly, take<i> full advantage</i> of, seizing a buying-opportunity, i.e. making the most of the <i>present opportunity</i> (recognizing its <i>future gain</i>).
