25:22 Prayer for the Whole People. Redeem generally conveys the idea of rescue and protection, especially when its object is Israel (e.g., 44:26; 111:9; 130:7-8) or a faithful worshiper (e.g., 34:22; 55:18; 71:23). In some places (though not here) it carries the idea of exchanging a substitute or ransom (e.g., Ex. 13:13; Lev. 27:29).
