the pure (feminine)
| Root | טהר (ṭ-h-r) |
| Core Meanings | cleanness, purity, freedom from defilement, purification |
| Semantic Range | physically clean, ceremonially clean, ritually pure, morally innocent, free from contamination or defilement |
| Conceptual Significance | Purity (טָהוֹר) is central to Israel’s covenant life, distinguishing the clean from the unclean in ritual, moral, and communal dimensions. It reflects holiness, suitability for worship, and alignment with YHWH’s standards of cleanness and integrity. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the root טהר (ṭ-h-r). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root טהר, expressing the state of being clean or free from impurity. The form is feminine singular with the definite article, so the rendering preserves both definiteness (“the”) and feminine singular agreement, indicating a specifically feminine referent described as pure. |
