Modern English too often allows words with 2 separate definitions to be used interchangeably. the English word redemption should mean to be redeemed but today it has become synonymous with salvation. When we use a coupon, we are accepting and then using the chance to exchange what is supplied by the manufacturer for something of value at a lower price. Salvation from the original Hebrew, is not at all what our modern English implies. The original Hebrew grammar instead suggests that salvation is the expectancy of life. Not this mortal life but eternal life, so when Jacob said in Genesis 49;18, “I await Your salvation, O LORD.” he is looking forward to his everlasting life.
