Exegesis
The verse is structured as a series of alternatives introduced by the disjunctive particle o {אוֹ | ʾō} ‘or’, marking successive redemption options with the Hiphil imperfect yigaalennu {יִגְאָלֶ֔נּוּ | yi-gō-ʾă-lēn-nû} ‘may redeem him’ for kinsmen-redeemers and concluding with the Niphal perfect venigaal {וְנִגְאָֽל | wə-nig-ʾā-ʾal} ‘and he shall be redeemed’ for self-redemption.
