ge.ul.lah denotes a right or provision for recovery, especially of land, houses, or a person sold into service.

The attested uses chiefly concern a recognized right or provision for recovering land, houses, and inherited property; they also concern release from a person's sale and the repayment calculated for that release. In Ezekiel 11:15, its construct form occurs in the phrase rendered “the men of your redemption,” though the translation does not make the term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with “redemption,” including “right of redemption” for the field transaction and “perpetual redemption” for Levitical houses. It also uses “repay his redemption” for the calculated payment in Leviticus 25:51 and Leviticus 25:52; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
