Halalta

InMandaeism,halalta(Classical Mandaic:ࡄࡀࡋࡀࡋࡕࡀ) is sacramental rinsing water used in rituals such as themasiqta(death mass).^[1]^[2]

During theṬabahata Masiqta,halalta is kept in bottles. Priests use the water to rinse their bowls and then drink all of it, since none of it can be spilled or wasted.^[1]
