Goel:
in Hebrew the participle of the verb gaal, "to redeem." It is rendered in the Authorized Version "kinsman," Num 5:8; Ruth 3:12; 4:1,6,8; "redeemer," Job 19:25; "avenger," Num 35:12; Deu 19:6, etc. The Jewish law gave the right of redeeming and repurchasing, as well as of avenging blood, to the next relative, who was accordingly called by this name. (See REDEEMER.)
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
