It conveys the action of removing impurities or dirt, typically through the use of water. This term is used in the context of ritual purification, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness in both physical and spiritual aspects.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness and purification were significant aspects of religious life. The Law of Moses included numerous regulations regarding ritual purity, which often involved washing or rinsing objects, garments, or even people. This was not only a physical act but also a symbolic gesture representing spiritual purification and readiness to approach God. The concept of washing away impurities is deeply rooted in the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites, reflecting their understanding of holiness and separation from sin.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to rinse, cleanse away by rinsing or washing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>purged (1), rinse (2), washed me away (1).<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">דּוּחַ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">דִּיחַ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rinse, cleanse away by rinsing, washing</b></font> (Late Hebrew Hiph`il, Aramaic Aph`el <em>id.</em>;
