This term can be applied to objects that have been refined or purified, indicating a state of readiness or preparation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the process of polishing or scouring was significant in various contexts, from preparing metal for use in the tabernacle to cleansing vessels for ceremonial purposes. The act of making something "maruq" was not merely about physical appearance but also about ritual purity and readiness for service. This reflects the broader biblical theme of purification and preparation for holy purposes.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4838.htm">maraq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a scraping, rubbing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beautification (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">מָרוּק</font>] (Kö<sup>ii. 138</sup>) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a scraping, rubbing</b></font>;
