lutrosis denotes redemption spoken of as accomplished for a people, awaited for Jerusalem, and obtained eternally.

The three occurrences present redemption as an outcome accomplished for a people, awaited in connection with Jerusalem, and described as eternal in the setting of entry into the holy place.

Senses in use

  1. Redemption accomplished, awaited, or obtained · dominant

    All three occurrences use the accusative singular feminine form in clauses concerning redemption: in Luke 1:68 the APB renders God as having “accomplished redemption for his people”; in Luke 2:38 it renders people as waiting “for the redemption of Jerusalem”; and in Hebrews 9:12 it renders an eternal redemption as having been obtained in connection with entry into the holy place.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “redemption” in all three verses, describing it as accomplished, awaited, and eternal. These phrases present the clauses' overall rendering rather than a precise gloss of the token.
