uncleanness; state of ritual or moral impurity
A feminine noun appearing only in Micah 2:10, where the prophet warns that the land has become defiled. 'Arise and go, for this is no place of rest, because of uncleanness that destroys.' The term refers to ethical impurity from wrongdoing, not just ritual defilement. The land itself has been polluted by injustice and oppression, making it uninhabitable for God's people. The noun form emphasizes the settled state of corruption, not just individual acts but a condition of deep defilement requiring exile.

1. sense 1 — Micah 2:10 uses this term in a prophetic oracle of judgment, commanding the people to leave their defiled land. The Spanish 'uncleanness' and French 'impure' both point to ethical rather than merely ritual defilement. The land's uncleanness comes from the people's oppression of the weak, making even the promised land a place from which they must flee. 1×
