'Closer' in the Bible
"Come closer to me," Isaac replied, "so I can eat some of the game, my son, and then bless you." So Jacob came closer, and Isaac ate. Jacob also brought wine so his father could drink.
After this, Jacob's father Isaac told him, "Come closer and kiss me, my son."
So Jacob drew closer to kiss him. When Isaac smelled the scent of his son's clothes, he blessed him and said, "How my son's scent is the fragrance of the field that the LORD has blessed.
"Do not come any closer," God said. "Remove your sandals from your feet, because the place where you are standing is holy ground."
It's true that I'm your related redeemer, but there is another related redeemer even closer than I.
