Strong's Lexicon piggul: Unclean, foul, abominable Original Word: פִגּוּל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to stink Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as "piggul" is specific to the Hebrew sacrificial system. However, concepts of impurity and defilement are addressed in the New Testament, such as in the Greek word "κοινός" (koinos - Strong's G2839), meaning common or unclean. Usage: The term "piggul" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is ceremonially unclean or defiled, particularly in the context of sacrificial offerings. It denotes a state of being unacceptable or abominable, often due to improper handling or intention during a sacrificial ritual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite religious practice, sacrifices were central to worship and maintaining a covenant relationship with God. The laws concerning sacrifices were detailed and specific, as outlined in the Torah. "Piggul" refers to sacrifices that were rendered unacceptable due to violations of these laws, such as improper timing or intention. This concept underscores the importance of purity and obedience in worship, reflecting the holiness required by God.
