Redeemer
Heb. goel; i.e., one charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs (Lev 25:48, Lev 25:49; Num 5:8; Ruth 4:1; Job 19:25; Ps 19:14; Ps 78:35, etc.). This title is peculiarly applied to Christ. He redeems us from all evil by the payment of a ransom (q.v.). (See Redemption.)
