Strong's Lexicon tummah: Uncleanness, impurity Original Word: תֻּמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמֵא (tame'), meaning "to be unclean" or "to defile." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G167 (ἀκαθαρσία, akatharsia) - often translated as "uncleanness" or "impurity" in the New Testament, referring to moral or ceremonial impurity. Usage: The term "tummah" refers to a state of ritual impurity or uncleanness in the Hebrew Bible. It is often associated with physical conditions, actions, or objects that render a person or thing ceremonially unclean according to the Mosaic Law. This state of impurity required specific purification rituals to restore cleanliness and allow participation in religious activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of purity and impurity was central to religious life and practice. The laws concerning uncleanness were detailed in the Torah, particularly in the books of Leviticus and Numbers. These laws governed various aspects of daily life, including dietary restrictions, bodily discharges, skin diseases, and contact with dead bodies. The purpose of these laws was to maintain the holiness of the community and to distinguish the Israelites from other nations. Ritual purity was essential for worship and access to the tabernacle or temple. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom tamam Definition integrity NASB Translation integrity (5).
