sep-a-ra'-shun: In the Pentateuch the word niddah specially points to a state of ceremonial uncleanness (Le 12:2,5;15:20 ff;Nu 6:4 ff;12:13;19:21). For a description of the "water of purification," used for cleansing what was ceremonially unclean (Nu 19), see HEIFER, RED; UNCLEANNESS. For "separation" in the sense of nezer, seeNAZIRITE.
