Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verbCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H1234 בָּקַע (baqa) • to cleave, break open, divide Usage: The verb σχίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of splitting or dividing, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical tearing or splitting, as well as divisions among people or groups. Context: The Greek verb σχίζω appears in several contexts within the New Testament, illustrating both physical and metaphorical divisions. In a literal sense, it is used to describe the tearing of physical objects. For example, in Matthew 27:51, it is used to describe the tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Jesus' death: "At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split." This event signifies the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, symbolizing direct access to God through Christ.
