Berean Strong's Lexicon riyr: Discharge, mucus, spittle Original Word: רִיר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to flow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for similar concepts of impurity or discharge might be found in terms like "ῥύπος" (rhypos - filth) or "ῥύσις" (rhysis - flow), though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. Usage: The Hebrew word "riyr" refers to a bodily discharge, often associated with mucus or spittle. It is used in contexts that describe physical conditions or impurities, particularly those that render a person ceremonially unclean according to the Levitical laws. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, bodily discharges were significant not only for health reasons but also for their implications on ritual purity. The Levitical laws, as outlined in the Torah, provided detailed instructions on how to handle various bodily discharges to maintain ceremonial cleanliness. These laws were part of a broader system that distinguished between the holy and the common, the clean and the unclean, reflecting the Israelites' covenant relationship with God and their call to be a holy people.
