“If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:”
Then he is gracious to him and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom, depicting the mediator's advocacy before God, speaking on behalf of the sufferer and offering ransom for redemption. The graciousness suggests favorable divine response. The command to deliver from pit suggests rescue. The ransom suggests price paid for redemption. The verse describes the mechanism of rescue through mediation.
