according to the cleanness of
| Root | ברר (b-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | to purify, cleanse, refine, sift, select, make clear |
| Semantic Range | cleanness, purity, moral purity, ritual purity, brightness, refined quality |
| Conceptual Significance | Rooted in the imagery of refining and sifting, this term conveys both ritual and moral purity in biblical theology. It reflects the covenantal expectation that actions and judgments correspond to a standard of refined cleanness before יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc) from בֹּר, with prefixed preposition כְ (“according to/as”). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֹּר derives from the root ברר, conveying purity or cleanness as the result of refining or sifting. The form is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc), which requires a following genitive (“of …”); the prefixed כְ (“according to/as”) governs this construct chain, hence “according to the cleanness of,” preserving both the root sense and grammatical form. |
