Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G907 • βαπτίζω (baptizō): To baptize, to immerse, to submerge Usage: The verb טָבַל (taval) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of dipping or immersing something into a liquid. This term is often associated with ritualistic or symbolic actions, such as the dipping of a hyssop branch in blood or the immersion of a person or object for purification purposes. Context: • The verb טָבַל (taval) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often signifying an act of dipping or immersing that carries ceremonial or symbolic significance.
