59Bought

agorazo (egorasthete) — Greek

Bought is the purchase completed and on the record. “Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Yahuah by thy blood” (Revelation 5:9) — the redeemed are owned property, lawfully acquired, and the price paid establishes the claim. Ownership carries the owner’s rights: the bought belong to the buyer and are answerable to him. Far from diminishing the believer, this is the ground of his security — a lawful owner defends his property and honors the price he paid. To have been bought is to have been legally claimed, the transaction closed, the title transferred, the receipt written in blood.
The Root

agorazo (G59) — to buy in the market, to purchase; egorasthete, ‘ye were bought’.

Shares a Root With
agorazo (G59) — 58. Buy

The same verb, two aspects: to buy (the act) and to have been bought (the completed purchase). Title moved; the receipt is the price.

The Courtroom Word

A completed-purchase term — ownership transferred by a price paid.

Its Role in the Court

A purchase moves title, and the price establishes the claim. To be bought is to have a new owner with the owner’s rights — and, for the redeemed, an Owner who defends what He paid for. The transaction is closed and recorded; the believer is no longer his own but lawfully held, the receipt written in the price.

Proof Texts

Revelation 5:9 “Hast redeemed us to Yahuah by thy blood.” The purchase completed, title moved.

1 Corinthians 6:20 “Ye are bought with a price.” The transaction stated flat.

1 Corinthians 7:23 “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” One Owner, His rights over the bought.

2 Peter 2:1 “Denying the Lord that bought them.” The purchase real even where denied.

In Plain Terms

To be bought means the purchase is done and title has moved — you belong to the buyer, and the price paid proves the claim. For the redeemed, that is security: the Owner defends what He paid for.

Bring It Home

A sale closes when the price is paid and the title changes hands — the thing bought now belongs to the buyer, with all an owner’s rights. That is the redeemed: bought, title transferred, receipt written in blood. Not diminished by it — secured by it, because the Owner protects what cost Him so much.

Courtroom Roles
  • Yahuah (the Owner) acquires the redeemed by the price; holds and defends them.
  • Yahushua (the price) the blood by which the purchase was made.
  • The redeemed (the property bought) lawfully claimed, answerable to the Owner.
