Bodily treatments or rubbings, referring to cosmetic preparations applied during the year-long beautification process
This noun describes the elaborate cosmetic treatments Persian harem candidates underwent. Esther 2:12 mentions "the days of their rubbings"—a full year of oil treatments, perfumes, and beautification procedures before each young woman could appear before King Ahasuerus. The term literally means "scrapings" or "rubbings," capturing the physical application of ointments and cosmetics. While English uses "purification," the Hebrew emphasizes the tactile, bodily dimension of these extended beauty regimens that transformed provincial girls into candidates fit for a royal court.

1. sense 1 — Refers to the year-long cosmetic preparation process involving application of oils, perfumes, and beautification treatments. The hapax in Esther 2:12 describes bodily rubbings or scrapings—the physical act of applying cosmetics. The context reveals Persian court protocol: six months with myrrh oil, six months with perfumes and other preparations. Spanish "embellecimientos" (beautifications) captures the cosmetic purpose, while the Hebrew root emphasizes the manual, tactile nature of these treatments. 1×
