Strong's Lexicon kabas: To wash, to cleanse Original Word: כָּבַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3068 (louo): To bathe, to wash - G4150 (pluno): To wash, to cleanse (specifically garments) Usage: The Hebrew verb "kabas" primarily means to wash or cleanse, particularly in the context of laundering garments. It is often used in the Old Testament to describe the physical act of washing clothes, but it also carries a metaphorical sense of purification and cleansing from sin or impurity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, washing garments was an essential part of daily life and religious practice. The act of washing was not only for cleanliness but also held ceremonial significance, especially in preparation for worship or participation in religious festivals. The process of washing clothes involved beating or treading them in water, often with the use of soap or alkaline substances. This physical act symbolized spiritual purification, reflecting the importance of holiness and purity in the Israelite community.
