- ἄφεσις áphesis · G859 · to pardon, to forgive, forgiveness
- Greek ἄφεσις renders Hebrew דְּרוֹר in proclamation-of-liberty contexts (Leviticus 25:10, Isaiah 61:1, Jeremiah 34:8–17), capturing the legal/theological sense of release from bondage or debt, though ἄφεσις extends to forgiveness of sin in NT usage where דְּרוֹר remains anchored to Jubilee/manumission vocabulary.
