Page "Book of Job" Paragraph 57
from
Wikipedia
Job ’ s faith in this arbiter is again brought up in chapter 19.
It is commonly accepted that the “ Redeemer ” of 19: 25 is the same person as the witness of 16: 19.
This verse in particular is often seen as an anticipation of Christianity.
Telgren notes that it has been suggested that verses 25 and 26 have a poetic structure of ABBA.
If this is true it would support the notion that God is himself the Redeemer, by associating him with the living Redeemer in the parallel structure.
The RSV ’ s “ Redeemer ” is a translation of the Hebrew go ’ el.
That this go ’ el could refer to God is explicitly demonstrated in the Psalms and Proverbs, and elsewhere.
