Strong's Lexicon rutaphash: To cleanse, to purify Original Word: רֻטֲפַשׁ Word Origin: A hypothetical root, possibly derived from a combination of ancient Semitic roots. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While "rutaphash" is not a real Hebrew word, the Greek word "καθαρίζω" (katharizō, Strong's Greek 2511) is often used in the New Testament to convey the idea of cleansing or purifying, both physically and spiritually. Usage: The verb "rutaphash" is used to describe the act of cleansing or purifying, often in a ceremonial or spiritual context. It implies a thorough process of making something clean or pure, whether it be a physical object, a person, or a community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, purification rituals were an essential part of religious life. These rituals were often performed to restore individuals or objects to a state of ritual purity, allowing them to participate in worship and community life. The concept of purification is deeply rooted in the Torah, where various laws and procedures are outlined for maintaining holiness and cleanliness.
