Strong's Lexicon aphorizó: To separate, set apart, divide Original Word: ἀφορίζω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and the verb ὁρίζω (horizo, meaning "to mark off by boundaries" or "to determine"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of being set apart is קָדַשׁ (qadash, Strong's H6942), which means to consecrate or sanctify. Usage: The verb ἀφορίζω (aphorizó) primarily means to separate or set apart for a specific purpose. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of God setting apart individuals for His divine purposes or calling. It can also refer to the act of distinguishing or dividing something from the rest. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of setting apart was significant in both religious and social contexts. Temples, priests, and sacred objects were often set apart for divine purposes. Similarly, in Jewish culture, the idea of holiness involved being set apart for God. This cultural understanding provides a backdrop for the New Testament usage of ἀφορίζω, where believers are often called to be distinct from the world and dedicated to God's service.
