Berean Strong's Lexicon tabal: To dip, immerse, plunge Original Word: טָבַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G911 (baptō): To dip, immerse - G907 (baptizō): To baptize, immerse, submerge Usage: The Hebrew verb "tabal" primarily means to dip or immerse. It is used in various contexts, often involving the act of dipping something into a liquid. This action can be literal, such as dipping a garment in blood, or ceremonial, as in the purification rituals described in the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, dipping or immersing was a common practice for both practical and ceremonial purposes. The act of dipping could signify cleansing, consecration, or preparation. For instance, priests would dip their fingers in blood during sacrificial rituals, symbolizing purification and atonement. The concept of immersion also laid the groundwork for later Jewish and Christian practices of ritual washing and baptism.
