Meanings

redemption

Causative action by which humans cause a person, animal, or inanimate object that has become someone else's property to be restored to its original state, which is normally achieved by paying a price

Examples
Leviticus 25:24 ‘So for every piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.
Leviticus 25:26 ‘Or in case someone has no redeemer, but recovers to find sufficient means for its redemption,
Leviticus 25:29 ‘Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his redemption right remains valid until a full year after its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year.
kinfolk, kindred

Literally: people of redemption; hence: a community of people sharing a relation of kinship and hence required to apply the laws of redemption among each other

Examples
Ezekiel 11:15 “Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the entire house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Keep far from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
