Strong's Lexicon tamruq: Purification, cosmetic, ointment Original Word: תַּמְרוּק Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָרַק (marak), meaning "to polish" or "to scour." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, related concepts of purification and beautification can be found in Greek terms such as καθαρισμός (katharismos, G2512) meaning "cleansing" or "purification." Usage: The term "tamruq" refers to substances used for purification or beautification, often in the context of preparing individuals, particularly women, for special occasions or roles. It implies a process of cleansing or enhancing appearance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, purification rituals were significant, both for religious and social reasons. The use of cosmetics and ointments was common, especially among women of status, to prepare for marriage or other important events. These preparations often involved a regimen of oils, perfumes, and other beautifying agents, reflecting the cultural emphasis on physical beauty and ritual cleanliness.
