In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to actions, offerings, or behaviors that align with God's commandments and are thus deemed acceptable or appropriate.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being "kasher" was closely tied to the idea of ritual purity and adherence to God's laws. This term is foundational to the later Jewish concept of "kosher," which refers to foods that meet specific dietary laws outlined in the Torah. The broader application of "kasher" in the biblical text emphasizes living a life that is in harmony with divine expectations, encompassing moral, ethical, and ritual dimensions.<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 be advantageous, proper, or suitable, to succeed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>giving success (1), proper (1), succeed (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">כָּשֵׁר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be advantageous, proper, suitable, succeed</b></font>, late Aramaic (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
