Strong's Lexicon Zocheth: Purity, Cleanness Original Word: זוֹחֵת Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Zowcheth Pronunciation: zoh'-keth Phonetic Spelling: (zo-khayth') Definition: Purity, Cleanness Meaning: Zocheth Word Origin: Derived from the root זָכָה (zakah), meaning "to be pure" or "to be clean." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with purity is καθαρότης (katharotēs), Strong's Greek #2510, which also denotes cleanness or purity, especially in a moral or ceremonial sense. Usage: The term "Zocheth" is used to denote a state of purity or cleanness, often in a ritual or moral sense. It reflects the condition of being free from impurities or defilement, whether physical, ceremonial, or ethical. In the Hebrew Bible, purity is a significant theme, especially in the context of worship and the relationship between God and His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, purity was a crucial aspect of religious life. The Israelites were given specific laws and rituals to maintain purity, as outlined in the Torah. These laws covered various aspects of life, including dietary restrictions, ceremonial washings, and moral conduct. Purity was not only about physical cleanliness but also about maintaining a right relationship with God. The concept of purity was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, symbolizing holiness and separation from sin.
