Strong's Lexicon apoplunó: To wash off, to wash away Original Word: ἀποπλύνω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and πλύνω (pluno, meaning "to wash"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of washing or cleansing is רָחַץ (rachats, Strong's H7364), which means to wash or bathe. This term is used in various Old Testament passages related to ritual purification and cleansing. Usage: The verb ἀποπλύνω is used to describe the act of washing something off or away, often in a thorough or complete manner. It implies a cleansing that removes impurities or dirt, leaving the object clean. In a biblical context, it can be understood both in a literal sense, such as washing physical dirt, and in a metaphorical sense, such as cleansing from sin or impurity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, washing was an important ritual for both physical cleanliness and religious purity. The act of washing was often associated with preparation for worship or participation in sacred activities. In the Jewish tradition, ritual washing was a significant practice, symbolizing purification and readiness to approach God. This cultural backdrop provides a deeper understanding of the spiritual implications of washing in biblical texts. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for plunó, q.v.
