Strong's Lexicon naqa: To be clean, to be free, to be innocent, to be exempt Original Word: נָקַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2513 (katharos) - clean, pure - G1344 (dikaioo) - to justify, to declare righteous Usage: The Hebrew verb "naqa" primarily conveys the idea of being clean or free from guilt, obligation, or punishment. It is often used in contexts where innocence is declared or where a person or object is purified or exempted from a particular condition or consequence. The term can also imply being acquitted or cleared of charges. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, concepts of purity and innocence were deeply embedded in both religious and legal practices. The idea of being "clean" was not only a physical state but also a spiritual and moral condition. Ritual purity was essential for participation in religious activities, and legal innocence was crucial for maintaining social justice. The verb "naqa" reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of being free from defilement or guilt.
