It can also refer to brightness or clarity, suggesting an absence of impurity or defilement. In the Old Testament, "tohar" is used to describe both physical and spiritual purity, emphasizing the importance of holiness and cleanliness in the sight of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, purity was a significant aspect of religious life, deeply embedded in the Law of Moses. Ceremonial purity was necessary for participation in worship and community life. The concept of purity extended beyond physical cleanliness to include moral and spiritual dimensions. Rituals and laws concerning purity were designed to teach the Israelites about the holiness of God and the need for His people to be set apart from impurity and sin.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">טֹּ֫הַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>purity, purifying</b></font> — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>purity</em>, <font class="hebrew2">כְּעֶצֶם הַשָּׁמַיִם לָטֹּ֫הַר</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/24-10.htm">Exodus 24:10</a> (JE), <em>as the body of heavens for purity.</em> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> suffix <font class="hebrew2">יְמֵי טָהֳרָהּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/12-4.htm">Leviticus 12:4</a>,6 <em>the days of her purifying</em> (menstruation). <p> [<font class="hebrew2">טֳהָר</font>] (see Ges<sup>§ 10</sup>. 2.
