From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:



  Goel
     in Hebrew the participle of the verb _gaal_, "to redeem." It is
     rendered in the Authorized Version "kinsman," Num. 5:8; Ruth
     3:12; 4:1,6,8; "redeemer," Job 19:25; "avenger," Num. 35:12;
     Deut. 19:6, etc. The Jewish law gave the right of redeeming and
     repurchasing, as well as of avenging blood, to the next
     relative, who was accordingly called by this name. (See {REDEEMER}.)
