It conveys the process of removing impurities to achieve a state of purity or clarity. This term is used metaphorically in the Scriptures to describe the purification of people or the refinement of character through trials and divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, refining metals such as gold and silver was a common practice. The process involved heating the metal to a high temperature to separate impurities, resulting in a purer and more valuable product. This imagery was powerful in a culture that valued purity and holiness, both in physical and spiritual terms. The concept of refining was often used by the prophets to illustrate God's work in purifying His people, drawing parallels between the physical process and spiritual growth.<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 refine, purify<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>distill (1), refine (2), refined (4).<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> I.
