Leviticus 25:49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
When Adam and Eve succumbed to the treachery of the devil, the human family was sold under sin, and we lost the original dominion that was given to our first parents at creation. Hence the reason why the prophet Isaiah refers to folks as being lawful captives of satan, that is, until Christ would come and break every chain with the human family was thus bound.
Therefore, in order for our redemption to take place someone would have to purchase us back from the one to whom we were sold. Thus, the law pertaining to redemption is actually a foreshadowing of what Christ would do, and thus, the New Testament reinforces the same truth that was written by Moses at the direction of God. This is the reason why Christ stated on many different occasions, that Moses wrote of Him.
Again, the Psalmist writes about Christ’s mission and His incarnation, but he does so in ways that are not readily apparent to the cursory reader. On the surface, David seems to be referring to the creation week, and while that is true in one sense, the real object and subject of the matter is Jesus Christ.
Psalms 8: 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
