Strong's Lexicon tahor: Clean, pure Original Word: טָהוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טָהֵר (taher), meaning "to be clean" or "to purify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2513 (katharos): Often used in the Septuagint and New Testament to convey the idea of being clean or pure, both physically and morally. Usage: The Hebrew word "tahor" primarily denotes a state of cleanliness or purity, both in a physical and ceremonial sense. It is used to describe objects, animals, and people that are free from impurities or defilement, making them suitable for worship and interaction within the community. In a broader sense, "tahor" can also refer to moral purity and righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of purity was central to religious and social life. The laws given in the Torah, particularly in Leviticus, outline various regulations for maintaining ritual purity. These laws distinguished between what was considered "clean" (tahor) and "unclean" (tamei), affecting everything from dietary practices to temple worship. Purity was not only a physical state but also a spiritual condition, reflecting one's relationship with God and the community.
