Strong's Lexicon pelaggah: Division, channel, stream Original Word: פְלַגָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַג (palag), meaning "to divide" or "to split." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pelaggah," related concepts can be found in Greek words like ποταμός (potamos, Strong's G4215), meaning "river" or "stream," which appears in contexts discussing watercourses. Usage: The term "pelaggah" is used to describe a division or a channel, often referring to a stream or a watercourse. It conveys the idea of something that is divided or separated, typically in the context of water flowing through a divided path. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and the imagery of streams and channels was significant in both practical and spiritual contexts. Streams were vital for agriculture, providing necessary irrigation in a largely arid region. Spiritually, watercourses often symbolized life, sustenance, and the blessings of God. The division of waters into channels could also represent the orderly provision and distribution of God's resources.
