It is used to describe a state of innocence or righteousness, typically in relation to God's standards. The term can also imply being justified or declared righteous.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, purity and cleanliness were not only physical but also spiritual and moral concepts. The Law of Moses included numerous regulations about ritual purity, which were symbolic of the deeper moral and spiritual purity that God required from His people. The concept of being "zakah" was integral to maintaining a right relationship with God, as it denoted a state of being that aligned with His holiness.<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 be clear, clean or pure<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>blameless (1), clean (1), cleansed (1), justify (1), keep his pure (1), kept my pure (1), make yourselves clean (1), pure (1).<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">זָכָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be clear, clean, pure</b></font>, always in moral sense (Assyrian <i><em>zakû</em></i> Zim<sup>BP</sup>; Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">דְּכָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb026901.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb026902.gif">; compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb026903.gif"> <em>be bright</em> (of a fire), <em>pungent</em> (of an odour); <em>be acute, quick of mind</em>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">יִזְכֶּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/15-14.htm">Job 15:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/25-4.htm">Job 25:4</a>; 2masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">תִּזְכֶּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/51-6.htm">Psalm 51:6</a>; 1singular interrogative <font class="hebrew2">הַאֶזְכֶּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/micah/6-11.htm">Micah 6:11</a>; &#8212; <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>be clean, pure</em>, of man, in the sight of God, <a href="/interlinear/job/15-14.htm">Job 15:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/25-4.htm">Job 25:4</a> (in both "" <font class="hebrew2">יצדק</font>; compare also <font class="hebrew2">זַכּוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/15-15.htm">Job 15:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/25-5.htm">Job 25:5</a>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>be clear, be justified</em> = be regarded as just, righteous, of God, <a href="/interlinear/psalms/51-6.htm">Psalm 51:6</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">תצדק</font>), <a href="/interlinear/micah/6-11.htm">Micah 6:11</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>1singular <font class="hebrew2">זִכִּיתִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/73-13.htm">Psalm 73:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/20-9.htm">Proverbs 20:9</a>; <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יְזַכֶּהֿ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/119-9.htm">Psalm 119:9</a>: &#8212; <em>make</em> or <em>keep clean, pure</em>, object <font class="hebrew2">לְבָבִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/73-13.htm">Psalm 73:13</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">אֶרְחַץ כַּמָּ֑י</font>), object <font class="hebrew2">לִבִּי</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/20-9.htm">Proverbs 20:9</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">טָהַרְתִּי</font>); object <font class="hebrew2">אֶתאָֿרְחוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/119-9.htm">Psalm 119:9</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hithpa`el</b></font> <em>Imperative</em> masculine plural <font class="hebrew2">הִזַּכּוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-16.htm">Isaiah 1:16</a> <em>make yourselves clean</em> ("" <font class="hebrew2">רַחֲצוּ</font>); — on form compare Ges<sup>§ 54</sup>, 2, b, Rem.
