Strong's Lexicon diachórizó: To separate, to divide, to part Original Word: διαχωρίζω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "διά" (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and "χωρίζω" (chorizo, meaning "to separate" or "to divide"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of separation in the Hebrew Bible can be related to words like בָּדַל (badal, Strong's H914), which means "to separate" or "to divide." This Hebrew term is used in contexts such as the separation of light from darkness in Genesis 1:4. Usage: The verb διαχωρίζω (diachórizó) is used to describe the act of separating or dividing something into parts. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of a physical or metaphorical separation. This term can be used in contexts where a clear distinction or division is made between entities or groups. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of separation was significant in various aspects of life, including social, religious, and philosophical contexts. Separation could refer to physical boundaries, such as those between different territories or social classes, as well as metaphorical separations, such as those between the sacred and the profane. In Jewish culture, separation was also a key theme, particularly in the context of purity laws and the distinction between Jews and Gentiles.
