פַּדָּן11 H6308
redeem him (imperative verb form with pronominal suffix)
A verb form appearing in Job 33:24, where Elihu describes God showing favor to a suffering person. The text reads 'redeem him' (or 'deliver him'), with God commanding deliverance from going down to the pit. The form combines an imperative with a pronominal suffix, expressing divine mercy that rescues from death. However, the verse is textually complex, and some see this as an abbreviated form of the place name Paddan-Aram rather than a verb, though contextually a verbal reading makes better sense.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A verb form meaning 'redeem him' or 'deliver him' in Job 33:24, where Elihu describes God's gracious intervention to save a suffering person from the pit. The form expresses divine command or decision to ransom someone from death. The context emphasizes God's mercy in turning back from destruction when a mediator intercedes. Though some lexicons treat this as a textual issue, the sense of redemption fits Job's larger theme of deliverance from suffering. 1×
