It is often used in contexts where innocence is declared or where a person is absolved from blame or penalty. The term can also imply being exempt from a duty or responsibility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, concepts of purity and innocence were deeply intertwined with religious and legal practices. The idea of being "clean" was not only a physical state but also a spiritual and moral condition. The use of "naqah" reflects the importance of maintaining purity before God and the community, as well as the desire for divine forgiveness and absolution from sin.
