It is used to describe actions that involve removing or cutting away material, whether for practical purposes or as part of a ritual or symbolic act.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, actions involving cutting or scraping were often associated with purification or preparation. For example, trimming or cutting could be part of preparing a sacrifice or maintaining cleanliness. The act of scraping or cutting could also symbolize separation or removal of impurity, reflecting the broader cultural emphasis on ritual purity and holiness.<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 compute<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>divide (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">כָּסַס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>compute</b></font> (perhaps originally <em>divide up, make small, fine</em>;
