“Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” (Psalm 51:7)
meaning
If something or someone is as white as snow, they are perfect or completely uncorrupted and honest.
origin and application
White is synonymous with purity. In the Bible, white is a colour that symbolizes departure from sin. Once men reconcile their relationship with God, their sins are forgiven, and they become white as snow.
