Strong's Lexicon akathartés: Unclean person Original Word: ἀκαθαρτής Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective ἀκάθαρτος (akathartos), meaning "unclean" or "impure." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of uncleanness in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by the word טָמֵא (tamei), Strong's Hebrew #2931, which denotes ceremonial impurity and is used extensively in the Levitical laws. Usage: The term "akathartés" refers to an individual who is considered unclean, often in a moral or spiritual sense. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who are morally impure or defiled, particularly in relation to sexual immorality or idolatry. The concept of uncleanness is deeply rooted in Jewish ceremonial law, where it denotes a state of impurity that separates individuals from the holiness required by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish context, uncleanness was a significant concept, encompassing both physical and spiritual impurity. The Law of Moses outlined various conditions and actions that rendered a person unclean, requiring purification rituals to restore them to a state of ceremonial cleanliness. In the Greco-Roman world, moral impurity was often associated with pagan practices and idolatry, which were prevalent in the culture. The early Christian community, emerging from this milieu, emphasized moral purity as a reflection of one's relationship with God.
