It is often used in contexts where liquid is applied in small amounts, such as dew or rain that gently falls upon the earth. This term can also imply a sense of refreshing or renewal, as the act of sprinkling water can symbolize purification or blessing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, water held significant symbolic meaning. It was essential for life, agriculture, and ritual purification. The act of sprinkling water was often associated with religious ceremonies, such as the cleansing of the altar or the purification of individuals. This practice underscored the importance of purity and renewal in the community's relationship with God.<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 moisten<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>moisten (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> I.
