Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root זָכָה (zāḵâ), which means to be clear, clean, or pure.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1343 (δικαιοσύνη, dikaiosynē): Often translated as "righteousness," this Greek term shares a conceptual link with purity, as both involve a state of being right or just before God. Usage: This term is used in the context of purity, particularly in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. It is associated with the concept of being free from impurity or defilement. Context: The term זָכוּ (zāḵû) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, reflecting the cultural and linguistic influences during the periods of exile and return. The concept of purity is central to the religious and ceremonial life of the Israelites, and this term underscores the importance of maintaining a state of cleanness before God. In the context of the Old Testament, purity is not only a physical state but also a spiritual condition, reflecting one's relationship with God. The use of זָכוּ in the Aramaic texts highlights the continuity of this theme across different languages and periods in the biblical narrative. The emphasis on purity is seen in various laws and rituals designed to keep the community in a state of holiness, as God is holy. This term, therefore, encapsulates a key aspect of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where purity is both a requirement and a reflection of divine grace.
