Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root סוּח (sukh), which conveys the idea of sweeping or being swept away.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2874 (kopria): The Greek term kopria, meaning dung or manure, shares a similar connotation with סוּחָה (sukhah) in terms of representing something that is considered waste or refuse. Both terms highlight the concept of impurity and the necessity of removal or cleansing.

Usage: This term is used in the context of describing something that is considered waste or refuse, emphasizing its transient and undesirable nature.

Context: • Contextual Analysis: The Hebrew word סוּחָה (sukhah) appears in the Old Testament to describe objects or materials that are swept away, often in a metaphorical sense to indicate impurity or worthlessness. The imagery of sweeping away suggests a removal of that which is undesirable or unclean, aligning with the broader biblical themes of purification and sanctification.
• Theological Implications: In the biblical narrative, the concept of filth or refuse being swept away can be seen as a metaphor for the removal of sin or impurity from the community or individual. This aligns with the biblical emphasis on holiness and the need for cleansing from moral and spiritual defilement.
• Cultural and Historical Context: In ancient Israelite society, cleanliness and purity were significant aspects of religious and daily life. The act of sweeping away filth would have been a common practice, both physically and ritually, to maintain purity and order within the community.
• Literary Significance: The use of סוּחָה (sukhah) in biblical literature serves to underscore the transient nature of impurity and the divine mandate for holiness. It reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's desire for a pure and sanctified people.
