Berean Strong's Lexicon maraq: To polish, scour, or rinse Original Word: מָרַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there may not be a direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of purification and cleansing is echoed in Greek terms such as καθαρίζω (katharizō - Strong's Greek 2511), which means to cleanse or purify. 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, often for ceremonial or practical purposes. 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 ceremonies, were often polished or rinsed to ensure they were ritually clean. This reflects the broader biblical theme of purity and the importance of maintaining cleanliness as a symbol of holiness and dedication to God.
