Strong's Lexicon zaraq: To throw, scatter, sprinkle Original Word: זָרַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4472 (ῥαντίζω, rhantizō): To sprinkle - G906 (βάλλω, ballō): To throw, cast Usage: The Hebrew verb "zaraq" primarily means to throw or scatter. It is often used in the context of sprinkling, particularly in ceremonial or ritualistic settings. The action of sprinkling is significant in various purification rites and sacrificial practices described in the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of sprinkling was a critical component of religious rituals. It was used in the purification of individuals, objects, and spaces, symbolizing cleansing and consecration. The sprinkling of blood, water, or oil was a common practice in the tabernacle and later in the temple, signifying atonement, purification, and dedication to God. This practice underscored the holiness required to approach God and the need for atonement for sin.
