καταβαπτίζω

Form 1

Part of speech: verb

Sense 1: to wash, to purify, washing, purification

Semantic entry: 53.31

Semantic domains: Religious Activities

Subdomains: Purify, Cleanse

Definition: to wash (in some contexts, possibly by dipping into water), with a view to making objects ritually acceptable

Notes: See OET MRK 7:4 apparatus.|There is some doubt as to the precise extent to which βαπτίζω[a], καταβαπτίζω, and βαπτισμός[a] in OET MRK 7:4 involve ritual cleansing, but the context would seem to imply this, particularly in view of the relationship of such washing to the rules followed by Jews in general and Pharisees in particular.
