Ransom » Of a man's life
I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.
If a price is put on his life, let him make payment of whatever price is fixed.
When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered.
Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself; (Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)
He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.
A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
