Senses in use

  1. Cleansing nets and robes · dominant

    In Luke 5:2, the imperfect active indicative form occurs as fishermen have left their boats; the APB renders the clause “were washing the nets.” In Revelation 7:14, the aorist active indicative form is used of people who have cleansed robes and made them white, and Revelation 22:14 uses a present active participle for those who cleanse their robes.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “washing” for nets in Luke 5:2 and “washed” or “wash” for robes in Revelation 7:14 and Revelation 22:14. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
