Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and the verb χωρίζω (chōrizō, meaning "to separate" or "to divide").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H914 בָּדַל (badal): To divide, separate, or distinguish.

These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with διαχωρίζω, emphasizing the act of separation or division, whether in physical, relational, or spiritual contexts.

Usage: The verb διαχωρίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of separating or dividing, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It can refer to the separation of people, objects, or abstract concepts.

Context: The Greek verb διαχωρίζω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize division or separation. It is used to describe both physical separations and metaphorical divisions, such as those between individuals or groups. The term carries the connotation of a deliberate or intentional act of dividing.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διαχωρίζω is used in passages that highlight the importance of discernment and the consequences of division. For example, in Matthew 19:6, Jesus speaks about the sanctity of marriage, stating, "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate." Here, διαχωρίζω underscores the divine intention for unity in marriage, warning against human actions that would divide what God has united.

The concept of separation is also significant in the context of spiritual and moral discernment. Believers are called to distinguish between holy and unholy, righteous and unrighteous, and to maintain a clear boundary between the two. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God's people are set apart for His purposes.

The use of διαχωρίζω in the New Testament reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's desire for unity among His people, while also recognizing the necessity of separation from sin and unrighteousness. It serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining the integrity of relationships and the community of faith.
