pure (feminine singular)
| Root | טהר (ṭ-h-r) |
| Core Meanings | purity, cleanness, ritual purity, moral innocence, brightness |
| Semantic Range | ritually clean, ceremonially pure, morally innocent, physically clean, unadulterated, bright or clear |
| Conceptual Significance | Purity (טהר) is central to biblical theology, encompassing ritual fitness for worship, moral integrity before YHWH, and symbolic separation from defilement. The feminine form often describes states, offerings, lands, or communities characterized by covenantal cleanness. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute (HAafsa), from the root טהר. It agrees in gender and number with a feminine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | טְהֹרָה is the feminine singular absolute form of the adjective טָהוֹר, derived from the root טהר, "to be pure/clean." The rendering "pure (feminine singular)" preserves the core idea of purity while explicitly reflecting its feminine singular grammatical form, indicating agreement with a feminine noun. |
