Atonement Metaphors in the Old Testament:

* Padah - saving from the power of sin, darkness, oppression. A Dramatic / Victorious metaphor. (cf the Exodus from Egypt.)

* Goel - redemption out of slavery or forfeited rights through a kinship in blood and property, and the rightful avenger of death of a family member. A Familial/Brotherly/Fatherly metaphor. (cf Boaz for Ruth.)
