Ransom of a Man's Life

If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him.

“When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered.

Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.

No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.

Riches may ransom a man’s life, but a poor man hears no threat.

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from Death. Where, O Death, are your plagues? Where, O Sheol, is your sting? Compassion is hidden from My eyes.
