37.128 · Control, Rule · Release, Set Free
to set free, to liberate, to deliver, liberation, deliverance to release or set free, with the implied analogy to the process of freeing a slave In a number of languages one cannot speak of ‘being set free’ without specifying the particular manner or circumstances involved. In the case of LUK 24:21, for example, it may be necessary to translate ‘to liberate Israel’ as ‘to cause Israel to be free from foreign control’ or ‘... from the power of Rome.’ A similar type of translation may be required in LUK 2:38, but in the case of EPH 1:7 it may be necessary to specify ‘we are set free from sin’ or ‘we are set free from our bad desires.’
