Gold and silver being liable to corruption themselves, can free no one from spiritual and bodily death. The Israelites were ransomed, which went towards purchasing the lamb for the daily sacrifice (Ex 30:12-16; Nu 3:44-51). But the Lamb who redeems the spiritual Israelites does so "without money or price."
The Church of the first-born is redeemed from sin and the curse with Christ's precious blood (Mt 20:28; 1Ti 2:6; Tit 2:14; Re 5:9). The idea behind these passages is "substitution," the giving of one for another by way of a ransom or equivalent. The ransom was paid to the righteously incensed Judge, and was accepted as a vicarious satisfaction for our sin by God,
Christ, having borne the curse of our sin, frees from it those who are made God's children by His Spirit. The price paid for man's redemption was the precious blood of Christ. God had purposes of special favor toward His people.
