This term is used in the New Testament to describe purity in both physical and moral contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "zak" is used to describe something that is pure, clean, or clear. It often refers to physical purity, such as pure gold or clear water, but can also denote moral or spiritual purity. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "zak" is used to describe the purity of offerings, the clarity of speech, or the moral integrity of individuals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, purity was a significant concept, both in physical and spiritual terms. The Israelites were given laws concerning ritual purity, which were essential for maintaining a proper relationship with God. Purity was not only about physical cleanliness but also about moral and spiritual integrity. The concept of purity extended to various aspects of life, including worship, diet, and social interactions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
