Offscouring:
"that which is wiped off" (akin to peripsao, "to wipe off all round;" peri, "around," psao, "to wipe"), hence, "offscouring," is used metaphorically in 1Cr 4:13. This and the synonymous word perikatharma, "refuse, rubbish," "were used especially of condemned criminals of the lowest classes, who were sacrificed as expiatory offerings... because of their degraded life" (Lightfoot).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
