ἐξαγοράζω (s. ἀγοράζω) 1 aor. ἐξηγόρασα. The commercial associations of the vb. ‘buy, buy up’ τὶ ‘someth.’ (Polyb. 3, 42, 2; Plut., Crass. 543 [2, 5]) or ‘redeem’ (lit. ‘buy back’), ‘deliver’ τινά ‘someone’ (Diod S 15, 7, 1; 36, 2, 2; not in LXX) invite a variety of extended usage:

① to secure deliverance of, deliver, liberate τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον those who are subject to the law Gal 4:5. The thing from which deliverance is obtained is added with ἐκ: ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου 3:13 (Dssm., LO 270–78 [LAE 322–34]; w. ἀπὸ Ar. 11, 3).

② to gain someth., esp. advantage or opportunity, make the most of. The sense of the act. in Da 2:8 (καιρὸν ὑμεῖς ἐξαγοράζετε) is ‘gain’ or ‘buy time’: the king’s oneiromancers face an hour of peril in which there are no options except to deliver what the monarch requests. The mid. ἐξαγοράζεσθαι τ. καιρόν Col 4:5; Eph 5:16 appropriately expresses choice in perilous times (ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πόνηραί εἰσιν) make the most of the time or opportunity in the sense ‘take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way’. (The context of Col. 4:5 relates to opportunity for evangelism; Eph 5:16 to avoidance of anything that inteferes with understanding of the Lord’s will.) S. also καιρός 1b; cp. Plut., Sert. 571 [6, 6] καιρὸν ὠνεῖσθαι, Phil. 364 [15] ἁρπάσας τὸν καιρόν; cp. OED s.v. redeem 8, ‘save (time) fr. being lost’.—RPope, ET 22, 1911, 552–54. For other interpretations, s. the lit. and 3 below.

③ The earliest occurrence of ἐ. suggests a further sense for the verb when used with the acc. buy off (Heraclides [III B.C.], Reisebilder 1951 §22 p. 82 FPfister: τὸν ἀδικηθέντα ἐξαγοράζειν=buy off the claims of the injured man, satisfy the one who has been wronged). So also the mid. διὰ μιᾶς ὥρας τὴν αἰώνιον κόλασιν ἐξαγοραζόμενοι with a single hour (of torment) buying off (avoiding) eternal punishment MPol 2:3 v.l. (cp. Iren., 5, 1, 2 [Harv. II 316, 8]). ἐ. in Col and Eph (s. 2 above) can be understood from this perspective, if 1 Cor 7:29–32 is taken into account (the καιρός is συνεσταλμένος and its ‘evil’ days present wrathful demands which must be satisfied).—Some mss. of MPol 2:3 read ζωήν instead of κόλασιν; in that case ἐ. would mean purchase (s. KLake, transl. ad loc., n. 2, also transll. of Kleist and Goodsp.).—SLyonnet, Biblica 42, ’61, 85–89, Sin, Redemption and Sacrifice, ’70, 104–19.—M-M. TW. Sv.

ἐπιχορηγέω 1 aor. ἐπεχορήγησα; 1 fut. pass. ἐπιχορηγηθήσομαι. For the interpretation of passages using this verb and cognates it is well to explore the possibility of connection with the Gr-Rom. cultural background of generous public service that finds expression in the χορηγ-family.

① to convey as a gift, give, grant (Dionys. Hal. 1, 42; Diog. L. 5, 67; Phalaris, Ep. 50; Alex. Aphr., Probl. 1, 81. In marriage contracts ἐ. τὰ δέοντα: BGU 183, 6; POxy 905, 10; CPR I, 27, 12; cp. Strabo 11, 14, 16) τί τινι someth. to someone Hs 2:5, 7. σπέρμα τῷ σπείραντι give seed to the sower 2 Cor 9:10. ὑμῖν τὸ πνεῦμα he who gives you the Spirit Gal 3:5. αὐτῷ τ. ἐγκράτειαν 1 Cl 38:2, end.—Pass. ἐπιχορηγηθήσεται ὑμῖν ἡ εἴσοδος you will be granted an entrance 2 Pt 1:11. Without an acc. to denote what is given (En 7:3), ἐ. comes to mean

② to provide (at one’s own expense), supply, furnish (SEG XXXIX, 605, 2 [205/204 B.C.?]; Dionys. Hal. 10, 54) fig. extension of mng. 1 ἐ. τὴν ἀρετήν 2 Pt 1:5 (within a variation of the rhetorical form κλῖμαξ).

③ to provide what is necessary for the well-being of another, support (Sir 25:22; En 7:3; Ar. 15, 7; s. ἐπιχορηγία) ὁ πλούσιος ἐπιχορηγείτω τῷ πτωχῷ let the rich person support the indigent one 1 Cl 38:2 (Ar. 15, 7). Pass. ὁ πένης ἐπιχορηγούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ πλουσίου the poor person, who is supported by the rich Hs 2:6. πᾶν τὸ σῶμα διὰ τῶν ἁφῶν καὶ συνδέσμων ἐπιχορηγούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον the whole body supported and held together by sinews and ligaments Col 2:19 (for the pass. of the simplex the mng. be supported, receive help is well attested [Ps.-X., Respubl. Athen. (the ‘Old Oligarch’) 1, 13; Polyb. 3, 75, 3; 4, 77, 2; 9, 44, 1; Sir 44:6; 3 Macc 6:40], and in Hs 2:5 the simplex and the compound appear to be used w. the same value, but the compound may here mean help afterwards, for a wealthy individual is here obligated to a poor one).—Danker, Benefactor 331f.—DELG s.v. χορός.
