Usage: The term נָקִי is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of being free from guilt or punishment. It often refers to individuals who are considered innocent in a legal or moral sense. Context: • The Hebrew word נָקִי (naqi) is used to denote innocence or the state of being free from guilt. It is often employed in legal contexts, where it describes someone who is not liable for punishment due to a lack of wrongdoing. The term can also be used in a broader moral sense, indicating purity or blamelessness. • In the Old Testament, נָקִי appears in various contexts, such as in legal judgments, where it is crucial to distinguish between the guilty and the innocent. For example, in Exodus 23:7, the text warns against killing the innocent and righteous: "Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, for I will not acquit the guilty." • The concept of innocence is significant in the Hebrew Bible, as it underscores the importance of justice and righteousness. The innocent are often contrasted with the wicked, highlighting the moral and ethical standards expected of the community. • The term is also used in prayers and supplications, where individuals plead their innocence before God, seeking vindication and protection from false accusations or unjust treatment.
