"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth."

— Job 19:25 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the Redeemer want Scripture on the Redeemer name — the living Redeemer who claims his people — not only the redemption purchase inventory, the cross inventory, or the salvation how-we-are-saved list alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about redemption, Bible verses about the cross, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about forgiveness, Bible verses about propitiation, and Bible verse of the day. Redeemer here means Hebrew gāʾal / the Redeemer title — distinct from redemption-as-purchase inventory alone, cross-as-event inventory alone, or salvation-as-gift list alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, the verb "redeem" / kinsman-redeemer root is גָּאַל gāʾal (Strong's H1350; Bible Hub H1350) — to redeem, act as kinsman, buy back. Isaiah repeatedly names the Lord "your Redeemer." In Greek, related words include λυτρόω lytroō (G3084; Bible Hub G3084) — to release by paying a ransom — and λυτρωτής lytrōtēs (G3086; Bible Hub G3086) — redeemer. Closely related themes include redemption, the cross, and salvation — each gets its own page emphasis.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Job 19 presses Job's confession — I know that my Redeemer lives (Bible Hub MHC Job 19; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Job 19). Isaiah 41 comforts the worm Jacob with "your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel" (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 41; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 41). Ruth's kinsman-redeemer theme rounds the picture (Bible Hub MHC Ruth 4; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Ruth 4). (Redemption, cross, and salvation lists live on those pages; this list centers the Redeemer name.)

Questions people ask

What is a good Bible verse about the Redeemer?

Job 19:25 (my redeemer lives), Isaiah 41:14 (your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel), and Psalm 19:14 (my Rock and my Redeemer) are clear starting places.

How do Bible verses about the Redeemer differ from redemption, the cross, or salvation?

The redemption page inventories purchase and ransom language. The cross page centers the crucifixion. Salvation centers how we are saved. This page centers the Redeemer name — Job, Isaiah, Psalms, Jeremiah — then cross-links those companions. See Bible verses about redemption.

What does gāʾal mean?

Hebrew gāʾal (H1350) means to redeem or act as kinsman-redeemer. Greek lytroō (G3084) and lytrōtēs (G3086) carry related release-by-ransom senses.

Is the Redeemer only an Old Testament title?

Isaiah and Job name the Redeemer richly; the New Testament fills the purchase language on the redemption and cross pages. This list keeps the Redeemer-name focus. See Bible verses about Jesus.
