It is often used in the context of physical cleanliness, but it can also imply moral or ritual purity. In the Hebrew Bible, "bor" is associated with the idea of being free from impurities or defilement, whether in a physical, ceremonial, or ethical sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, purity was a significant concept, both in daily life and religious practice. The Israelites were given specific laws regarding cleanliness, which were intended to set them apart as a holy people dedicated to God. These laws covered various aspects of life, including dietary restrictions, personal hygiene, and ritual practices. The concept of purity was not only about physical cleanliness but also about maintaining a right relationship with God and the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1305.htm">barar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>cleanness, pureness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cleanness (5).<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> II. <font class="hebrew2">בּוֺר</font>, <em>cleanness</em>, see <font class="hebrew2">בֹּר</font> below <font class="hebrew2">ברר</font>. </p><p> II. <font class="hebrew2">בֹּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cleanness, pureness</b></font>: <font class="hebrew2">בֹּר יָדַי</font> <em>cleanness of my hands</em> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/22-21.htm">2 Samuel 22:21</a> (= <a href="/interlinear/psalms/18-21.htm">Psalm 18:21</a>) <a href="/interlinear/psalms/18-25.htm">Psalm 18:25</a> (= <font class="hebrew2">בֹּרִי</font> <em>my cleanness</em> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/22-25.htm">2 Samuel 22:25</a>);
