It is used in the context of waste material, often associated with the remains of animals or the refuse from sacrificial offerings. The term is used to describe something that is considered unclean or to be discarded.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness and purity were of utmost importance, especially in religious practices. The disposal of "peresh" was necessary to maintain ritual purity, particularly in the context of temple sacrifices. The presence of dung was seen as defiling, and its removal was part of the broader Levitical laws concerning cleanliness. The handling and disposal of such waste were regulated to prevent contamination and to uphold the sanctity of the community and worship practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
