Var – Pure (בַר) "Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean [naki] hands and a pure [var] heart..." (Psalms 24:3-4) "Var" comes from barar (בָּרַר), meaning to purify, make bright, cleanse, polish, purge out our "heart" or inner being. It's different from "clean" (naki, נְקִ֥י), which is more than just soap and water – it's a deep-clean of our "hands" - our very life-actions.
