The Hebrew verb ga·ʼalʹ, appearing first in Genesis 48:16 (‘recover’), also has the meaning of “repurchase or redeem,” that is, to recover, redeem, or buy back the person, property, or inheritance of the next of kin; it was also used with reference to a blood avenger.
Ang pandiwang Hebreo na ga·ʼalʹ, na unang lumilitaw sa Genesis 48:16, ay nangangahulugang “tubusin,” samakatuwid nga, bawiin, o bilhing muli ang isang malapit na kamag-anak, ang ari-arian nito, o ang mana nito; ginamit din ito may kaugnayan sa isang tagapaghiganti ng dugo.jw2019 jw2019
