Strong's Lexicon kiyyor: Basin, laver Original Word: כִּיּוֹר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to wash Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament, the concept of ritual washing is echoed in the Greek word "λουτρόν" (loutron), which refers to washing or bathing, as seen in Ephesians 5:26. Usage: The term "kiyyor" refers to a basin or laver used for washing. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is most commonly associated with the large bronze basin used by the priests in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple for ceremonial washing. This washing was a ritual purification process necessary before performing sacred duties. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite religious practice, ritual purity was of utmost importance. The kiyyor was a critical component of the Tabernacle, as described in the book of Exodus. It was placed between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and it was used by the priests to wash their hands and feet before entering the Tent or approaching the altar to offer sacrifices. This practice underscored the holiness required of those who served in the presence of God and symbolized the need for spiritual cleanliness.
