I have made pure

Rootזכה (z-k-h)
Core Meaningsclearness, purity, innocence, transparency
Semantic Rangeto be pure, to be innocent, to be clear; to make clean, to purify, to declare innocent, to keep oneself pure
Conceptual SignificanceThis root often expresses moral and spiritual purity before God, highlighting the biblical concern with inner cleanness and innocence. In theological context, it can underscore themes of self-examination, justification, and the pursuit of moral transparency before YHWH.
Morphological NotesPiel (intensive/factitive) stem, perfect tense, 1st common singular; active voice indicating completed action by the speaker.
Rendering RationaleThe root זכה conveys the idea of clearness or purity, both physical and moral. In the Piel stem, the verb takes on a factitive/intensive sense, meaning "to make pure" or "to declare innocent." The perfect 1st common singular form זִכִּיתִי therefore means "I have made pure," preserving both the causative nuance of the stem and the first-person singular perspective.
