Berean Strong's Lexicon deror: Liberty, freedom, release Original Word: דְּרוֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to move rapidly Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G859 (aphesis): Often translated as "forgiveness" or "release," used in the context of the remission of sins. - G1659 (eleutheria): Meaning "freedom" or "liberty," used in the New Testament to describe the freedom found in Christ. Usage: The Hebrew word "deror" primarily signifies liberty or freedom, often in the context of release from bondage or servitude. It is used to describe the act of proclaiming freedom, particularly in the context of the Year of Jubilee, when slaves were set free and debts were forgiven. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "deror" was deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric of society. The Year of Jubilee, occurring every 50th year, was a time when liberty was proclaimed throughout the land. This practice was intended to prevent the permanent enslavement of individuals and to ensure that economic disparities did not become entrenched. The proclamation of "deror" was a reminder of God's deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt and His desire for His people to live in freedom and justice.
