In the O.T., except in Exodus 21:30 , the word is kopher, lit. 'a covering,' a cognate word to ka phar, often translated 'atonement.' None "can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him." Psalm 49:7 . But God could say, "Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom." Job 33:24 . The word occurs also in Exodus 30:12; Job 36:18; Proverbs 6:35; Proverbs 13:8; Proverbs 21:18; Isaiah 43:3 . In the N.T. it is λύτρον,or ἀντίλυτρον,from 'to loose, set free.' Christ gave Himself, His life, a ransom for many: the precious blood of Christ witnesses that every claim of God against the believer has been answered. Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; 1 Timothy 2:6 .
