Rid; Riddance

rid, rid'-ans: "Rid" originally meant "rescue" (the King James Version Gen 37:22; Exod 6:6; Ps 82:4; Ps 144:7; Ps 144:11), whence the meaning "remove" or "clean out" (Lev 26:6 the King James Version, with "riddance" in Lev 23:22; Zech 1:18). The word occurs in the American Standard Revised Version and in the English Revised Version in Exod 6:6.
