Strong's Lexicon sid or sud: Lime, plaster Original Word: שׂיד Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be white Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of whitewashing is echoed in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 23:27, where Jesus refers to the Pharisees as "whitewashed tombs." Usage: The Hebrew word "סִיד" (sid) refers to lime or plaster, a substance used in ancient times for construction and decoration. It is often associated with the process of whitewashing walls or structures, symbolizing a superficial covering or appearance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, lime was a common material used in construction and maintenance of buildings. It was used to coat walls, providing a smooth and clean surface. The process of whitewashing with lime was not only practical for preservation but also held symbolic significance, often representing purity or concealment. In a cultural context, whitewashing could imply a superficial or deceptive appearance, as seen in some biblical metaphors.
