### meaning for a pupil

The act of buying back or setting free, or the price paid for it. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/redemption/#m1)

### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah it is the right to buy back land or a person, or the money paid to free a life. In the Psalms and Prophets it is God saving His people: "plenteous redemption" is with Him. Interpretation: The land laws say land can never be sold forever, because it belongs to God; later tradition uses "redemption" for God freeing Israel, and hopes for a final redemption. Psalm 49 says a person cannot pay enough to redeem a soul, and Isaiah speaks of God's year of redemption.
