In the New Testament, it is used to describe the sprinkling of blood or water as a means of purification or consecration.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Jewish tradition, sprinkling was a significant ritual act, often associated with purification and atonement. The Old Testament describes various instances where sprinkling was used, such as the sprinkling of blood on the altar or the people to signify cleansing from sin (e.g., Leviticus 16:14-19). This practice carried over into the New Testament, where it symbolized the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4472.htm">rhantizó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sprinkling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sprinkled (2).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4473: ῤαντισμός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ῤαντισμός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ῤαντισμοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">ῤαντίζω</span>, which see), used only by Biblical and ecclesiastical writers, <span class="accented">a sprinkling</span> (purification): <span class="greek2">αἷμα</span> <span class="greek2">ῤαντισμοῦ</span>, <span class="accented">blood of sprinkling,</span> i. e. appointed for sprinkling (serving to purify), <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-24.htm">Hebrews 12:24</a> (<span class="greek2">ὕδωρ</span> <span class="greek2">ῤαντισμοῦ</span> for <span class="hebrew">הַנִּדָּה</span> <span class="hebrew">מֵי</span>, <a href="/interlinear/numbers/19-9.htm">Numbers 19:9, 13, 20</a>f);
