Luke 2:38

At that very hour she came in and gave thanks to God and spoke about him [Jesus] to all who were waiting for ­the redemption (ransom) of Jerusalem.
[Simeon's song of praise and Anna's testimony are framed with the phrase that they were waiting for ­the deliverance of Israel and the redemption of Jerusalem, see verses 25 and 38. The word for redeem was just used for the ransom of people, see Lev. 25:48, and may be a connection to Pidjon haben, see verse 23. Through the redeemed firstborn son comes deliverance.]
