Job 19:23-27 -- "Oh, that my words were written!
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book! That they were engraved on a rock
With an iron pen and lead, forever! For I know that my Redeemer
lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is
destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I
shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How
my heart yearns within me!"
The word "Redeemer" here is
go'el.
I see the point you are making
Bill. Just wondered, since the Bible says only that Job used the word
"Redeemer", and did not specify kinsman, can the word go'el ever be used
without meaning kinsman?
