In the Bible, however, the idea of being clean is denoted by a number of Hebrew and Greek words that describe cleanness not just in the physical sense but more often in the moral and spiritual sense.
Bet Bībeles pantos, kuros runāts par tīrību, ir lietoti senebreju un grieķu vārdi, kas raksturo tīrību drīzāk no garīgā, nevis fiziskā viedokļa.
