Strong's Lexicon rhantismos: Sprinkling Original Word: ῥαντισμός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ῥαντίζω (rhantizō), meaning "to sprinkle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of sprinkling is זָרַק (zarak, Strong's H2236), which means "to sprinkle" or "to scatter." Usage: The term "rhantismos" refers to the act of sprinkling, particularly in a ceremonial or ritualistic context. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the sprinkling of blood or water as a means of purification or consecration. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
