However, bodily functions are occasionally referenced in Greek literature with terms like "aphiemi" (to let go, send away) in a broader sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "shathan" is used in the context of urination. It is a straightforward term that describes the act of urinating, often used in a literal sense. The usage of this word is rare in the Hebrew Bible, and it typically appears in contexts that describe natural bodily functions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, bodily functions were often described with euphemisms or indirect language due to cultural norms regarding modesty and propriety. The use of "shathan" reflects a straightforward approach to describing natural human activities, which were understood as part of God's creation. The Israelites, like many ancient peoples, had specific laws and customs regarding cleanliness and sanitation, which were important for both religious and practical reasons.<div class="vheading2">NAS
