Context: מִפְלַגָּה (miphlaggah) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a division or a distinct group. The root פָּלַג (palag) from which it is derived is associated with the act of dividing or splitting, often used in contexts where a separation is made among people or territories. This term is reflective of the ancient Near Eastern understanding of social and tribal divisions, which were common in the biblical narrative.

The use of מִפְלַגָּה underscores the importance of identity and belonging within the biblical framework, where divisions could be both physical and ideological. The term is illustrative of the broader biblical theme of unity and division, where God's people are often called to be distinct from surrounding nations while maintaining unity among themselves.
