Strong's Lexicon tame: Unclean Original Word: טָמֵא Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be foul" or "to be defiled." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G169 (ἀκάθαρτος, akathartos): Often used in the New Testament to describe unclean spirits or impure things. - G2840 (κοινόω, koinoō): To make common or unclean, often used in the context of defilement. Usage: The term "tame" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of ritual impurity or uncleanness. It often refers to individuals, animals, or objects that are considered impure according to the Mosaic Law. This state of uncleanness could result from various causes, such as contact with a dead body, certain diseases, or eating prohibited foods. The concept of "tame" is central to the Levitical laws concerning purity and holiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of purity was integral to religious and communal life. The laws of purity and impurity, as outlined in the Torah, were designed to maintain the holiness of the community and the sanctity of the tabernacle and later the temple. Being "tame" often required specific rituals for purification, such as washing, waiting periods, or offerings, to restore a person or object to a state of "tahor" (clean). These laws underscored the separateness of the Israelites from other nations and their dedication to God.
