Scofield Reference Notes

[1] kin

The Kinsman-Redeemer. The word goel is used to indicate both the redemption-- "to free by paying," and the Redeemer--"the one who pays." The case of Ruth and Boaz Ruth 2:1 3:10-18 4:1-10 perfectly illustrates this beautiful type of Christ. See "Redemption, See Scofield Note: "Isa 59:20".

Margin redeem

Heb. "goel," Redemp. (Kinsman type).

See Scofield Note: "Isa 59:20".

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

25:39-55 A native Israelite, if sold for debt, or for a crime, was to serve but six years, and to go out the seventh. If he sold himself, through poverty, both his work and his usage must be such as were fitting for a son of Abraham. Masters are required to give to their servants that which is just and equal, Col 4:1. At the year of jubilee the servant should go out free, he and his children, and should return to his own family. This typified redemption from the service of sin and Satan, by the grace of God in Christ, whose truth makes us free, Joh 8:32. We cannot ransom our fellow-sinners, but we may point out Christ to them; while by his grace our lives may adorn his gospel, express our love, show our gratitude, and glorify his holy name.


Leviticus 25:26 'Or in case a man has no kinsman, but so recovers his means as to find sufficient for its redemption,
Leviticus 25:27 then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his property. (NASB ©1995)
