Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טָמֵא (tame), which means "to be or become unclean."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G167: ἀκαθαρσία (akatharsia) • Refers to uncleanness, impurity, often in a moral or ceremonial sense. Usage: The term is frequently used in the context of the Levitical laws to denote things that are unclean and thus unfit for worship or contact. It appears in various contexts, including dietary laws, purification rituals, and moral or spiritual impurity. Context: • The concept of טָמֵא (tamei) is central to the Levitical code, where it delineates the boundaries between the holy and the profane. It is used to describe animals that are not to be eaten (Leviticus 11), individuals who have come into contact with a corpse (Numbers 19:11), and various skin diseases (Leviticus 13). The state of being טָמֵא (tamei) often required specific purification rituals to restore ceremonial cleanliness.
