A term which primarily indicates freedom from foreign substances. Accordingly, it became in the Bible an elemental notion, controlled by numerous laws which affected details of life, ranging from food and contacts to ceremonial requirements. The notion passed into the moral sphere, connoting absence from sin. It received its highest sense when applied to such a spiritual condition as "the clean of heart" (Matthew 5).
