It is used in various contexts, including ritual purification, personal hygiene, and preparation for worship or service. The act of washing is both a physical and symbolic act, representing cleanliness, purification, and readiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, washing was an important practice for both physical cleanliness and ritual purity. The Law of Moses included specific instructions for washing in various contexts, such as the washing of hands and feet by priests before entering the Tabernacle (Exodus 30:19-21) and the washing required for those who were ceremonially unclean (Leviticus 14:8-9). Washing was also a common practice in daily life for personal hygiene and hospitality, such as washing the feet of guests (Genesis 18:4).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/7366.htm">rachats</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a washing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>washing (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">רַחְצָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> id., literal;
