It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe something that is darkened or tarnished, often symbolizing impurity or defilement.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, soot would have been a common byproduct of daily life, especially in homes where oil lamps and open fires were used for light and cooking. The presence of soot was a familiar sight, and its blackness made it a fitting metaphor for impurity or moral defilement. In a culture that valued ritual cleanliness, the imagery of soot would resonate as something undesirable and in need of cleansing.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6315.htm">puach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>soot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>soot (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִּיחַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>soot</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">αὶθάλη</font> (?
