Usage
The term "tame" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of ritual impurity or uncleanness. It often refers to individuals, animals, or objects that are considered impure according to the Mosaic Law.

The concept of "tame" is central to the Levitical laws concerning purity and holiness.
