If any of his kin come to redeem it— The word גאל goel, a redeemer, signifies also a near kinsman; to whom the right of redeeming lands, houses, or persons, and also the avenging of blood, belongs: which kinsman, in this work of redeeming, was often a figure of Christ, who being near to us, and allied in the flesh, in that he took part of the same flesh and blood with us, (Hebrews 2:14.) is called our גאל goel; our Redeemer, or Deliverer; (Isaiah 59:20. Romans 11:26.) who hath redeemed us, and our heavenly inheritance to us, in our low, distressed, and poor estate. Hosea 13:14. 1 Thessalonians 1:10. 2 Corinthians 8:9. Romans 8:10. Dr. Beaumont.
