Strong's Lexicon riqquach: Mixture, compound, ointment Original Word: רַקֻּחַ Word Origin: From the root רָקַח (raqach), which means "to mix" or "to compound." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "riqquach," the concept of anointing and the use of ointments can be related to Greek terms such as μύρον (myron), which means "ointment" or "perfume." Usage: The term "riqquach" refers to a mixture or compound, often used in the context of ointments or perfumes. It denotes the act of compounding or blending various ingredients to create a specific product, typically for anointing or ceremonial purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the art of compounding ointments and perfumes was a highly valued skill. These mixtures were used for religious rituals, personal grooming, and medicinal purposes. The process of creating these compounds was often carried out by skilled apothecaries or perfumers, who followed specific recipes to ensure the purity and efficacy of the product. The use of anointing oils and perfumes was deeply embedded in the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites, symbolizing consecration, purification, and the presence of the divine.
