Context — The Purpose of Christ's Cominggenerated
Galatians 4:5 states that Jesus came to redeem those who were under the law. This means He freed them from the law's demands, allowing them to receive the status of sons. This theme of redemption is central to Paul's letter, emphasizing the transition from the law to grace and the new identity believers have in Christ. The surrounding verses highlight God's plan and timing in sending His Son, as seen in Galatians 4:4 and Galatians 4:6.

The Key Word — ἐξαγοράσῃ, exagorazōgenerated
The verb ἐξαγοράζω means to redeem or buy back. It indicates a rescue from bondage, often used in the context of freeing slaves. Here, it refers to Jesus' work in redeeming humanity from the law's curse, as seen in Galatians 3:13.
The subjunctive form indicates purpose, suggesting that the redemption is intended to achieve a specific outcome: our adoption as sons. This highlights the relational aspect of salvation, moving from a position of servitude to one of familial belonging.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is presented in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the phrase to redeem. This is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which also emphasize the act of redemption.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of νόμον. The BSB, KJV, and others use the law, while the YLT and DBY simplify it to law. Additionally, the verb ἐξαγοράσῃ is rendered as he may redeem in some versions like LSV, while others like FBV use rescue.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἐξαγοράσῃ, he may redeem, which governs the purpose clause introduced by ἵνα, that. This structure indicates the intention behind the action of redemption.
The sentence includes two key phrases: the first describes who is being redeemed (τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον, those under the law), and the second describes the outcome of that redemption (υἱοθεσίαν, adoption as sons).
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
νόμος in this context corresponds to the Hebrew תּוֹרָה, which refers to the law given to Moses. This connection emphasizes the continuity of God's plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
The use of ἐξαγοράζω does not have a direct counterpart in the Septuagint but aligns with the theme of redemption found in various Old Testament texts, where God acts to free His people.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Galatians 4:5 explains that Jesus came to redeem those who were under the law. This means He freed them from the law's demands, allowing them to become God's children. This reflects the shift from being bound by the law to being embraced as sons in God's family.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
ut eos, qui sub lege erant, redimeret, ut adoptionem filiorum reciperemus.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word ἵνα is primarily a conjunction meaning 'in order that' or 'that,' indicating purpose or intention. It can also function as an adverb of place, meaning 'where' or 'whither.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that express purpose, such as in Matthew 1:22. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings or usages.
ἵνα, I. an adv. of Place. fr. Hom. down, esp. in the poets; a. where; in what place. b. to what place; whither. Of the former signification C. F. A. Fritzsche (on Mt. p. 836; differently in Fritzschiorum Opusce. p. 186 sqq-.) thought he had found two examples in bibl. Greek, and H. A. W. Meyer agrees with him. The first viz. iva μὴ φυσιοῦσθε, 1 Co. iv. 6, they explain thus: where (i. e. in which state of things viz. when ye have leatned from my example to think humbly of yourselves) the one is not exalted to the other’s disadvantage; the second, iva αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε, Gal. iv. 17, thus: where ye zealously court them; but see II. 1 d. below. “ iva I. a final Conjunction (for from local direction, indicated by the adverb, the transition was easy te mental direction or intention) denoting pur pose and end: to the intent that; to the end that, in order that; ἵνα pn, that not, lest; it is used…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word ὑπό (hupo) is a preposition meaning 'under' and can take the genitive, dative, or accusative case. Its primary uses include indicating physical position, agency, and subjection, as seen in various New Testament passages like Matthew 1:22 and Romans 6:14. The word can express both literal and metaphorical meanings, such as being under someone's influence or authority.

νόμος refers to a law or custom, derived from the idea of distribution. It encompasses various meanings, including general law, the Mosaic law, and Christian teachings. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as the law of Moses and principles of Christian conduct. Notably, it is used in verses like Romans 3:27 and Galatians 6:2.

Law
A rule of action. (1.) The Law of Nature is the will of God as to human conduct, founded on the moral difference of things, and discoverable by natural light (Rom. 1:20; 2:14, 15). This law binds all men at all times. It is generally designated by the term conscience, or the capacity of being influenced by the moral relations of things.
(2.) The Ceremonial Law prescribes under the Old Testament the rites and ceremonies of worship. This law was obligatory only till Christ, of whom these rites were typical, had finished his work (Heb. 7:9, 11; 10:1; Eph. 2:16). It was fulfilled rather than abrogated by the gospel.
(3.) The Judicial Law, the law which directed the civil policy of the Hebrew nation.
The word is properly used, in Scripture as elsewhere, to express a definite commandment laid down by any recognized authority; but when the word is used with the article, and without any words of limitation, it refers to the expressed will to God, and in nine cases out of ten to the Mosaic law, or to the Pentateuch of which it forms the chief portion. The Hebrew word torah (law) lays more stress on its moral authority, as teaching the truth and guiding in the right way; the Greek nomos (law), on its constraining power as imposed and enforced by a recognized authority. The sense of the word, however, extends its scope and assumes a more abstracts character in the writings of St. Paul. Nomos , when used by him with the article, still refers in general to the law of Moses; but when used without the article, so as to embrace any manifestation of "law," it includes all powers which act on…
In the Bible, signifies sometimes the whole word of God, Ps 19:7-11 119:1-176 Isa 8:20; sometimes the Old Testament, Joh 10:34 15:25, and sometimes the five books of Moses, which formed the first of the three divisions of the Hebrew Scriptures, Lu 24:44 Ac 13:15. The Pentateuch was probably "the law," a copy of which every king was to transcribe for himself and study, and which was to be made known to young and old, in public and in private, De 6:7 17:18,19 31:9-19,26. In other places the Mosaic institutions as a whole are intend by "the law," in distinction from the…

The Greek word ἐξαγοράζω (i.e., *exagorazo*) means to redeem or ransom, particularly in the context of buying something out of another's hands. It is used in the New Testament to refer to redeeming from sin (Galatians 3:13, 4:5) and to buying up time (Ephesians 5:16, Colossians 4:5). The word is built from a prefix meaning 'out of' and a root meaning 'to buy.'

The Greek word ἵνα is primarily a conjunction meaning 'in order that' or 'that,' indicating purpose or intention. It can also function as an adverb of place, meaning 'where' or 'whither.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that express purpose, such as in Matthew 1:22. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings or usages.

so (co', although the Hebrew might be pointed cewe'; Assyrian Sib'u; Septuagint Segor, Soa; Manetho, Seuechos; Latin Sevechus; Herodotus (ii. 137 ff), Sabakon): In all probability the "Sabaeo" of Herodotus, the Shabaka, who founded the Ethiopian dynasty, the XXVth of Egyptian kings. His date is given as 715-707 BC (Flinders Petrie, History of Egypt, III, 281 ff), but we may suppose that before his accession to the throne he was entitled to be designated king, as being actually regent. To this So, Hoshea, king of Israel, made an appeal for assistance to enable him to throw off the yoke of the Assyrian Shalmaneser IV (2Ki 17:3). But Hoshea's submission to So brought him no advantage, for Shalmaneser came up throughout all the land and laid siege to Samaria. Not long after the fall of Samaria, So ventured upon an eastern campaign, and…
So
(Nubian, Sabako), an Ethiopian king who brought Egypt under his sway. He was bribed by Hoshea to help him against the Assyrian monarch Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:4). This was a return to the policy that had been successful in the reign of Jeroboam I.
"So, king of Egypt," is once mentioned in the Bible -- (2 Kings 17:4) So has been identified by different writers with the first and second kings of the Ethiopian twenty-fifth dynasty, called by Manetho, Sabakon (Shebek) and Sebichos (Shebetek).
King of Egypt, made an alliance with Hoshea king of Israel, and promised him assistance; but was unable to prevent Shalmaneser king of Assyria from taking Samaria and subverting the kingdom, B. C. 721, 2Ki 17:4. See PHARAOH.
So is believed to have been the Servetus or Sabaco II of secular history, the second king of the Ethiopian or twenty-fifth dynasty, and the predecessor of Trihakah. A singular fact has been brought to light by the recent explorations at Nineveh, corroborating the Scripture record the more forcibly, because unexpected and direct. The Bible shows that Egypt and Assyria, though remote, were often in conflict during the height of the Assyrian ruins power, and that So was at war with Shalmaneser. After war comes the treaty of peace; and as the Bible prepares us to suppose such treaties were made, the Assyrian ruins…

Counted over the 300 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word υἱοθεσία (i.e., *huiothesia*) means 'adoption' and is derived from components meaning 'to place' and 'son.' It covers the concept of adopting a child, particularly in a religious context, where it signifies the relationship between God and believers, as seen in Romans and Galatians. The term is consistently used in the New Testament to describe the status of Christians as children of God.
υἱοθεσία, -as, 7, (fr. vids and θέσις, cf. ὁροθεσία, νομο@ecia; in prof. auth. fr. Pind. and Hdt. down we find θετὸς vids or θετὸς παῖς, an adopted son), adoption, adoption as sons (Vulg. adoptio filiorum): [Diod. 1. 31 § 27,5 (vol. x. 31,13 Dind.)]; Diog. Laért.4,53; Inserr. In the N. T. it is used to denote a. that relationship which God was pleased to establish between himself and the Israelites in preference to all other nations (see vids τοῦ θεοῦ, 4 init.): Ro. ix. 4. b. the nature and condition of the true disciples of Christ, who by receiving the Spirit of God into their souls become the sons of God (see vids τοῦ θεοῦ, 4): Ro. viii. 15; Gal. iv. 5; Eph. i. 5; it also includes the blessed state looked for in the future life after the visible return of Christ from heaven; hence ἀπεκδέχεσθαι υἱοθεσίαν, to wait for adoption, i. e. the consummate condition of the sons of God, which…

The Greek word ἀπολαμβάνω (i.e., *apolambano*) is built from the prefix ἀπο- and the root λαμβάνω. It covers a range of meanings including to receive what is due, to take aside, or to recover. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as receiving back or receiving one's due, notably in Luke 16:25 and Galatians 4:5.
ἀπολαμβάνω ; fut. ἀπολήψομαι (Col. iii. 24; 1, Τ Tr WH ἀπολήμψεσθε; see λαμβάνω) ; 2 aor. ἀπέλαβον ; 2 aor. mid. ἀπελαβόμην; fr. Hdt. down; 1. fo receive (from another, ἀπό [cf. Mey. on Gal. iv. 5; Ellie. ibid. and Win. De verb. comp. ete. as below]) what is due or promised (cf. ἀποδίδωμι, 2): τ. υἱοθεσίαν the adoption promised to believers, Gal. iv. 5; τὰ ἀγαθά σου thy good things, “ which thou couldst expect and as it were demand, which seemed due to thee” (Win. De verb. comp. ete. Pt. iv. p. 13), Lk. xvi.25. Hence 2. to take again or back, to recover: Lk. vi. 34 [T Tr txt. WH λαβεῖν]; xv. 27; and to receive by way of retribution: Lk. xviii. 30 (L txt. Tr mrg. WH txt. λάβῃ); xxiii. 41; Ro. i. 27; 2 Jn. 3; Col. iii. 24. 3. to take from others, take apart or aside; Mid. τινά, to take a person with one aside out of the view of others: with the addition of ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου κατ᾽ ἰδίαν in Mk.…
Read the full entry →ἀπολαμβάνω. The use of ἀπολαβέσϑαι in Mk 7° = “draw aside,” ‘*separate,” is well illustrated by P Lond 4215 ἅ.
