Definition: The word "adstipulate" in the King James Version (KJV) refers to a term used in Jewish law to refer to an unclean animal that was not permissible for sacrifice or worship. In biblical terms, this term is associated with the Levitical priests who had to wash off the blood of sacrificed animals before they could continue their service as priests. This ritualistic process known as "adstipulation" (Hebrew: ΧΦ±ΧΦΆΧ¨ΦΈΧΦ΄ΧΧ) was seen as a way to purify and sanctify the animal, ensuring it was not considered impure by God. The phrase is typically translated into English in the KJV as "to wash away the blood of an unclean animal." The act of washing away this blood is thus a form of cleansing or purification. It's important to note that while this process is performed for religious reasons, it can also be used metaphorically (as in the phrase "to wash away the blood of an unclean animal" or as in a figurative sense of sanctifying something) by those who seek to cleanse themselves from impurities or sins. This concept has been adapted and applied throughout Jewish tradition, reflecting the ongoing moral and ethical principles that Jews have held dear.
