Strong's Lexicon marat: To make smooth, bare, or bald; to polish; to scour Original Word: מָרַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1591: ekmasso (to wipe off, wipe away) - G3587: xurao (to shave) Usage: The Hebrew verb "marat" primarily conveys the action of making something smooth or bare, often through the process of scouring or polishing. It can imply the removal of hair or other coverings, leaving a surface exposed or bare. This term is used in contexts where something is stripped away, either physically or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of making something bare or smooth could have various implications, from the practical (such as preparing a surface for use) to the symbolic (such as purification or exposure). The act of making something bare could be associated with vulnerability or readiness for a new purpose. In a religious context, it might symbolize purification or preparation for a sacred task.
