High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In English translations of the Bible, unclean spirit is a common rendering of Greek pneuma akatharton (plural pneumata akatharta), which in the Septuagint translates Hebrew ruah tum'ah ( ). The Greek term appears 21 times in the New Testament the context of demonic possession. It is also translated into English as spirit of impurity or more loosely as "evil spirit." The Latin equivalent is spiritus immundus. The association of physical and spiritual cleanliness is, if not universal, widespread and continues into the 21st century: "To be virtuous is to be physically clean and free from the impurity that is sin," notes an article in Scientific American published 10 March 2009. Some scholarship seeks to differentiate between "unclean spirit" and "evil spirit" (pneuma poneron) or "demon" (daimonion).
