Isaiah 52:9

Break forth into joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord comforts his people [Isa. 40:1], he redeems Jerusalem.
[The verb redeems is in Hebrew gaal and the one who redeems is a goel. Redemption is a central concept in the Bible, see Lev. 25:25; Ruth 2:20; 3:9; 4:8–10. The central focus of Jesus' ministry here on earth is to be the Redeemer of humanity, our Goel. Jesus the Messiah fulfills that mission when he goes to the cross and voluntarily pays the price required for our redemption, see Ps. 19:14; Job 19:25; John 1:29; Acts 20:28; Rev 5:1–5.
The Hebrew name for Jerusalem is Yerushalayim. In addition to singular and plural, Hebrew also has a dual form, which means two, indicated by the ending ayim. The dual form of Jerusalem has sometimes been interpreted as the two mountains on which the city rests, but it can also be taken literally to mean that the city signifies double peace. From God's perspective, Jerusalem is the center of the world. There is also an interesting observation that, linguistically speaking, the languages of the world also point to Jerusalem. The written languages east of Jerusalem are read from right to left, while the languages west of Jerusalem are read from left to right. This means, among other things, that Jerusalem represents not only Israel and the Jews, but the whole world and all of humanity. God redeems the whole world.]
