Strong's Lexicon sig or sug: Dross, impurity Original Word: סִיג Word Origin: From a root word meaning "to move away" or "to turn aside." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of purification and removal of impurities can be related to Greek words such as καθαρίζω (katharizō - Strong's G2511), meaning "to cleanse" or "to purify." Usage: The Hebrew word "sig" refers to the impurities or waste material that is separated from metal during the refining process. It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe moral or spiritual impurity, representing the undesirable elements that need to be removed to achieve purity and holiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient metallurgy, refining metals such as silver and gold was a common practice. The process involved heating the metal to a high temperature to separate the pure metal from the dross or impurities. This imagery was well understood in the ancient Near East and is frequently used in the Bible to illustrate the process of purification and refinement that God desires for His people.
