Usage: The Hebrew verb "rachats" primarily means to wash or bathe. It is used in various contexts, including the washing of the body, hands, or feet, and sometimes in a ceremonial or ritualistic sense. The act of washing is often associated with purification and cleanliness, both physically and spiritually.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, washing was an important practice for both hygiene and religious reasons. Ritual washing was a significant part of the Mosaic Law, symbolizing purification and preparation for worship. Priests were required to wash before performing their duties in the Tabernacle or Temple (Exodus 30:19-21). Washing was also a common practice for hospitality, as guests would often have their feet washed upon entering a home (Genesis 18:4).
