① to use water to cleanse a body of physical impurity, wash, as a rule of the whole body, bathe

ⓐ act., abs. of the washing of a corpse (Hom. et al.) Ac 9:37; GPt 6:24. Of persons who have been scourged ἔλουσεν ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν he washed their wounds (lit., ‘by washing he freed them from the effects of the blows’) Ac 16:33 (on the constr. w. ἀπό s. 3 below. Also Antig. Car. 163 of Europa: λούσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τοῦ Διὸς μίξεως=wash off the traces of intercourse with Zeus). For Rv 1:5 v.l. s. 3.

ⓑ mid. I wash myself, I bathe myself (Hom. et al.) lit., of man or beast: of a woman λουομένη εἰς τὸν ποταμόν bathing in the river Hv 1, 1, 2 (λ. εἰς also Ptolem. Euerg. II [II B.C.]: 234 Fgm. 3 Jac.; Alciphron 3, 7, 1 λουσάμενοι εἰς τὸ βαλανεῖον; Cyranides p. 57, 6; Iren. 3, 3, 4 [Harv. II 13, 11 and 12]). ὗς λουσαμένη 2 Pt 2:22 (s. βόρβορος 2).

② to use water in a cultic manner for purification, wash oneself, bathe oneself, cleanse, bathe, mid., of cultic washings

ⓐ (Soph., Ant. 1201 τὸν μὲν λούσαντες ἁγνὸν λουτρόν; Apollon. Rhod. 3, 1203 λοέσσατο ποταμοῖο … θείοιο … before the sacrifice Jason washed himself clean of pollution, in the divine river; Plut., Mor. 264d λούσασθαι πρὸ τῆς θυσίας; Ael. Aristid. 33, 32 K.=51 p. 582 D.: πρὸς θεῶν λούσασθαι κέρδος ἐστὶ ζῶντα, ὸ̔ καὶ τελευτήσαντι μένει; Dssm., NB 54 [BS 226f] cites for this usage three ins, all of which have the mid., two in combination w. ἀπό τινος; Sb 4127, 14 ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἁγίῳ τῷ τῆς ἀθανασίας ὕδατι λουσάμενος; Ramsay, Exp. 7th ser., 8, 1909, p. 280, 1; LXX; Jos., Vi. 11 λ. πρὸς ἁγνείαν) of the act of purification necessary before entering the temple Ox 840, 14; 19; 24f (ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ τοῦ Δαυίδ); 32 (ὕδασιν). ὁ λελουμένος the one who has bathed (in contrast to the one who has his feet washed, and with allusion to the cleansing of the whole body in baptism [λελουμένος ‘newly bathed, after the bath’ Hdt. 1, 126; Aristoph., Lysist. 1064; Plut., Mor. 958b λουσαμένοις ἢ νιψαμένοις; Lev 15:11 τ. χεῖρας νίπτεσθαι, λούεσθαι τὸ σῶμα]; difft. HWindisch, Johannes u. d. Synoptiker 1926, 77.

J ad loc., 355–65; JDunn, ZNW 61, ’70, 247–52) J 13:10 (λού. beside νίπτ. in eating Tob 7:9 S; λού. before eating AcThom 89=Aa p. 204 l. 7f). λούσασθε wash yourselves 1 Cl 8:4 (Is 1:16). Always of baptism (Hippol., Ref. 5, 7, 19) AcPl Ha 2, 35; 3, 6; 5, 1f; 7, 20.—The sense is in doubt in εἴ τις μεταλάβῃ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ λούσεται if anyone receives the body of the Lord (in the Eucharist) and then mouth-rinses or bathes Agr 19.

ⓑ I wash for myself w. obj. in acc. (Hes.+) τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ (cp. Dt 23:12) Hb 10:22 (of baptism).

③ to cause to be purified, cleanse, act. (in imagery, via liquid other than water) τῷ λούσαντι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ Rv 1:5 v.l. (For the use of an agent other than water in connection with λ., but in a difft. sense, s. Simonid. 144 a bow bathed in blood [Diehl² II p. 113=Bergk 143]; Lucian, Dial. Meretr. 13, 3 pers. bathed in blood.) On this rdg. s. PvonderOsten-Sacken, ZNW 58, ’67, 258 n. 17.—B. 579. DELG. M-M. TW.

βόρβορος, ου, ὁ (Aeschyl., Pla., al.; Jer 45:6; Jos., Ant. 10, 121; ParJer 3:13; Tat. 21, 4)

① boiling mire in the netherworld, mire ApcPt 8:23; 9:24; 16:31 (cp. Diogenes the Cynic [IV B.C.] in Diog. L. 6, 39: the wicked are tormented in the next world ἐν τῷ βορβόρῳ; AcThom 56; MartMt 3 [Aa II/2, 172, 9; II/1, 220, 1]).

② sullied mud, slime, mud (cp. TestBenj 8:3 κόπρον και β.) in which swine wallow ὗς λουσαμένη εἰς κυλισμὸν βορβόρου 2 Pt 2:22. This is usu. taken to mean a sow, after she has washed herself, (turns) to wallowing in the mud (the ptc. is mid., Mlt. 155f; 238f; s. JHarris, The Story of Aḥikar 1898, lxvii, also in Charles, APOT II, 772; RSmend, Alter u. Herkunft d. Achikar-Romans 1908, 75). But the idea was also current that swine preferred to bathe in mud or slime (Sext. Emp., Pyrrhon. Hypot. I 56 σύες τε ἥδιον βορβόρῳ λούονται … ἢ ὕδατι … καθαρῷ; cp. Clem. Al., Protr. 92, 4; Aristot., HA 8, 6 p. 595a, 31; Galen, Protr. 13, p. 42, 22 John); the tr. might then be a sow, having (once) bathed herself (in mud), (returns) to wallowing in the mire (CBigg, ICC, 1901 ad loc.), or a sow that washes herself by wallowing in the mire (M-M. s.v. λούω); cp. PWendland, Ein Wort des Heraklit im NT: SBBerlAk 1898, 788–96. On swine wallowing in mud, lit. and fig., see Semonides 7, 2ff; Heraclitus, Fgm. 37; Epict. 4, 11, 29 (cp. 31) χοίρῳ διαλέγου, ἵνʼ ἐν βορβόρῳ μὴ κυλιήται; Plut., Mor. 129a; Ael. Aristid. 33, 31 K.=51 p. 582 D.; Philo, Spec. Leg. 1, 148, Agr. 144; Clem. Al., Protr. 92, 4. In the light of Israelite and Gr-Rom. emphasis on purification before participation in religious rites, the imagery is esp. forceful in its devastating satire. S. BHHW I 20.—Schmidt, Syn. II 193f, and s. πηλός. DELG. M-M. Sv.
