However, Greek terms related to cleansing or purification, such as καθαρίζω (katharizō • Strong's Greek 2511), may conceptually align with the broader thematic elements of cleansing associated with the act of scraping or abrading in a ritualistic context. Usage: The verb גָּרַד (garad) is used in the context of scraping or abrading, often referring to the action of removing or scratching off a surface layer. Context: The Hebrew verb גָּרַד (garad) appears in the context of physical actions involving the removal of a surface layer through scraping or scratching. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions that involve the physical abrasion of a surface, often for the purpose of cleansing or removing impurities. The act of scraping is sometimes associated with ritualistic or purification processes, where the removal of the outer layer symbolizes the cleansing of impurities or the preparation for a new state of purity. The verb is not frequently used in the Hebrew Scriptures, indicating its specific application to contexts where physical abrasion is necessary.
