rajats (í…j’r; , 7364), “to wash, bathe”. Ancient and modern Hebrew have this word in common, which is also found in ancient Ugaritic. It is used some 72 times in the text of the Hebrew Old Testament. In its first mention we find an illustration of one of its most common uses: “Let a little water be brought so that you may wash your feet” (Gen 18:4 rva). When the term is used metaphorically to express revenge, the imagery is a bit more chilling: “He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked” (Psa 58:10 rva). Pilate’s action in Mat 27:24 evokes the psalmist’s declaration: “I will wash my hands in innocence” (Psa 26:6). The pieces of a sacrificial animal were usually washed before being burned on the altar (Exo 29:17). Rajats is often used in the sense of “bathing” or “washing” (Exo 2:5; 2Sa 11:2). In a figurative sense beautiful eyes are said to be “washed with milk” (Son 5:12). kabas (sb’K; , 3526), “to wash”. This word is a common term throughout the history of the Hebrew language to denote the “washing” of clothes. It is also found in two very old languages, Ugaritic and Akkadian, where the aspect of working the clothes with the feet (trampling) is emphasized. Kabas appears in the Hebrew Old Testament 51 times. Its first mention is in Gen 49:11 as part of Jacob’s blessing to Judah: “He washed his garment in wine.” In the Old Testament, the word is used primarily with the meaning of “washing” clothes, both in ordinary usage (2Sa 19:24) and in a ritual sense (Exo 19:10; 14; Lev 11:25). It is often used in a parallelism with “washing oneself”, as in Lev 14:8-9: Kabas is used with the connotation of “washing” or “bathing” oneself only metaphorically and as a poetic expression, for example , Jer 4:14 “Wash your heart from wickedness, Jerusalem, that you may be saved” (nrv).
