This term is used in the New Testament to describe both physical cleanliness and moral purity.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "zachach" primarily conveys the idea of purity and clarity, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It is used to describe something that is free from impurities or defects, whether it be a material object, a person's character, or a spiritual state. The term can also imply the process of refining or purifying.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, purity was a significant concept, both in physical and spiritual terms. The Israelites were given laws concerning ritual purity, which were essential for maintaining a right relationship with God. Purity was not only about physical cleanliness but also about moral and spiritual integrity. The process of refining metals, such as gold and silver, was a common practice in the ancient Near East, and it served as a powerful metaphor for spiritual purification.<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 remove, displace<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>come loose (2).<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">זָחַח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>remove, displace</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb026705.gif"> <em>push, thrust away</em>;
