Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טָהֵר (taher), which means "to be clean" or "to purify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G39 (ἁγνός, hagnos): Often translated as "pure," referring to moral and ceremonial purity. • G53 (ἁγνίζω, hagnizō): To purify, cleanse, or sanctify. • G1342 (δίκαιος, dikaios): Righteous, just, or upright, often associated with moral purity. • G1384 (δοκιμός, dokimos): Approved, tested, or genuine, implying purity through testing. • G2513 (καθαρός, katharos): Clean or pure, used in both physical and moral contexts. • G3741 (ὅσιος, hosios): Holy or pious, often used to describe purity in a religious sense. These Greek terms reflect similar themes of purity and righteousness found in the Hebrew concept of טָהוֹר, emphasizing the continuity of these values across the biblical canon. Usage: The term טָהוֹר is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to describe: • Ceremonial purity, as in the context of ritual cleanliness required by the Law. • Moral purity, referring to the uprightness or innocence of individuals. • Physical purity, such as the purity of gold or other materials. • The purity of animals that are deemed clean and fit for consumption according to dietary laws. Context: The concept of purity, encapsulated by the Hebrew word טָהוֹר (tahor), is a significant theme in the Hebrew Scriptures. It encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, reflecting the holistic nature of purity in biblical thought. In the ceremonial context, טָהוֹר is often used to describe the state required for participation in religious rituals. For example, in Leviticus, various laws outline the conditions under which individuals and objects can be considered pure or impure. This includes regulations concerning food, bodily discharges, and contact with dead bodies. The emphasis on ceremonial purity underscores the importance of approaching God in a state of holiness. Morally, טָהוֹר is used to describe individuals who are righteous and blameless. For instance, in Psalm 24:4, the psalmist speaks of those with "clean hands and a pure heart" as being worthy to stand in God's holy place. This moral purity is not merely external but reflects an inner integrity and devotion to God. The term is also applied to materials, such as gold, which is described as pure when it is free from impurities. This usage highlights the value and desirability of purity, both in the physical and spiritual realms. The pursuit of purity is a recurring theme in the wisdom literature, where it is associated with wisdom, understanding, and the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 20:9, for example, poses the rhetorical question, "Who can say, 'I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin'?" This underscores the human struggle for purity and the need for divine assistance in achieving it.
