8997. 'Let her be redeemed' means alienation from those truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'being redeemed' by him who sold her, or by another - that is, being sold by her master - as alienation from that spiritual truth. For the meaning of 'being sold' as alienation, see 4098, 4752, 4758, 5886, and of 'master' as spiritual truth, 8981, 8995.
