Language

pid.yon denotes a payment or redemption connected with preserving a life from the outcome described in its context.

The two verses show pid.yon in contexts of redemption connected with life: Exodus 21:30 explicitly places it under an imposed ransom, while Psalm 49:9 places it in a statement about continuing to live and not seeing the Pit; the latter's precise contribution is less explicit in the translation.

Senses in use

  1. Redemption connected with preserving life · dominant

    In Exodus 21:30, the construct singular noun occurs after a ransom is imposed, and the APB renders the clause, "he shall give the redemption of his life according to all that is imposed on him." In Psalm 49:9, the same construct singular form occurs in a statement that he "shall live still to perpetuity and shall not see the Pit," though the translation does not isolate the term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Exodus 21:30, the APB explicitly uses "redemption of his life." In Psalm 49:9, it renders the surrounding outcome as continued life and not seeing "the Pit," without identifying a separate English equivalent for the term.
