Go'el (Redeemer)
In Hebrew tradition, a Go'el or Redeemer is a family member responsible for protecting and restoring the rights of their kin. This role is significant in the context of property and family lineage, ensuring that land remains within the family and that relatives are cared for in times of need.
The concept of the Go'el is rooted in the Torah, particularly in the book of Leviticus, where it outlines the responsibilities of a redeemer in cases of debt, land sales, or family members in distress. This role emphasizes the importance of community and familial bonds in ancient Hebrew society.
