clean (masculine singular)

Rootטהר (ṭ-h-r)
Core Meaningscleanness, purity, freedom from defilement, ritual and moral purity
Semantic Rangeritually clean, ceremonially pure, physically clean, morally pure, undefiled, clear
Conceptual Significanceטָהוֹר is central to biblical distinctions between clean and unclean in ritual law, moral conduct, and worship. It expresses the ideal state required for approaching the holy—freedom from defilement both outwardly and inwardly.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular absolute; from the verbal root טהר (to be clean, to become pure).
Rendering Rationaleטָהוֹר is an adjective derived from the root טהר, expressing the state of being clean or pure. The rendering "clean" preserves the core idea of freedom from impurity, while noting "masculine singular" reflects the adjective’s masculine singular absolute form (HAamsa).
