Of the firstborn, see Firstborn; of land, see Jubilee, Year of; of a slave, Lev. 25: 48. The word is of constant use in N.T. in speaking of the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ and our deliverance from sin. He redeemed us with his blood (Acts 20: 28; Eph. 1: 7, 14; Col. 1: 14; Heb. 9: 11-15; 1 Pet. 1: 18-19; 1 Pet. 3: 18; Rev. 5: 9).
