It conveys the idea of removing a substance or material from a surface by wiping.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the act of wiping or cleaning was a common practice, especially in contexts related to hospitality, personal hygiene, and religious rituals. The use of cloths or sponges to wipe surfaces or the body was a familiar activity. In a biblical context, the act of wiping could also carry symbolic meanings, such as purification or the removal of impurities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and massó (to handle, touch)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to wipe off<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wipe off (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 631: ἀπομάσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπομάσσω</span></span>: (<span class="greek2">μάσσω</span> to touch with the hands, handle, work with the hands, knead), <span class="accented">to wipe off</span>; middle <span class="greek2">ἀπομάσσομαι</span> <span class="accented">to wipe oneself off, to wipe off for oneself</span>: <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">κονιορτόν</span> <span class="greek2">ὑμῖν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-11.htm">Luke 10:11</a>.
