Strong's Lexicon diaskorpizó: To scatter, to disperse, to squander Original Word: διασκορπίζω Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and σκορπίζω (skorpizó, meaning "to scatter" or "to disperse"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6327 (פָּזַר, pazar): To scatter, disperse - H6340 (פָּרַד, parad): To divide, separate, scatter Usage: The verb διασκορπίζω primarily means to scatter or disperse, often used in the context of spreading or distributing something widely. It can also imply squandering or wasting resources. In the New Testament, it is used both literally, as in scattering seed, and metaphorically, as in dispersing people or resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, scattering seed was a common practice, essential for planting crops. The concept of scattering also had social and religious implications, as it could refer to the dispersion of people, such as the Israelites during the Exile. The idea of squandering resources was a moral and ethical concern, reflecting the values of stewardship and responsibility prevalent in Jewish and early Christian teachings.
