Usage: The Hebrew verb "maraq" primarily means to polish or scour, often in the context of cleaning or rinsing. It conveys the action of making something clean or shiny by rubbing or washing. This term is used in the context of preparing or purifying objects, particularly in a ritual or domestic setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness and purification were significant both in daily life and religious practices. Objects, especially those used in religious rituals, were often polished or rinsed to ensure they were ceremonially clean. The act of scouring or polishing was not only practical but also symbolic of spiritual purification and readiness for worship.
