Berean Strong's Lexicon tahorah: Purity, Cleanness Original Word: טָהֳרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root טהר (tahar), meaning "to be clean" or "to purify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2513 (καθαρός, katharos) - clean, pure - G2511 (καθαρίζω, katharizō) - to cleanse, purify Usage: The term "tahorah" primarily denotes a state of ritual purity or cleanness, often in a ceremonial or moral context. It is used to describe the condition required for participation in religious activities and worship in ancient Israel. The concept of purity is central to the Levitical laws, which outline various states of impurity and the necessary rituals for purification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, purity was a significant aspect of religious life, deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The laws of purity, as detailed in the Torah, were not merely about physical cleanliness but were symbolic of spiritual and moral integrity. Ritual purity was necessary for approaching God, participating in temple worship, and maintaining communal holiness. The Israelites were called to be a holy nation, set apart for God, and the laws of purity served as a constant reminder of this calling.
