Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of division or section in Greek can be related to terms such as μερίς (meris • Strong's Greek 3313), which also denotes a part or portion. However, there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Strong's Greek entries for the specific Aramaic term פְלֻגָּה.

Usage: The term פְלֻגָּה is used in the context of describing a section or division, particularly in reference to a group or portion of people or things.

Context: The Aramaic term פְלֻגָּה (peluggah) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to denote a division or section, often in the context of administrative or organizational structures. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such divisions were common in the organization of military, governmental, or religious groups.

In the book of Daniel, the use of פְלֻגָּה reflects the administrative divisions within the Babylonian and Persian empires, where the text is set. The term underscores the structured and hierarchical nature of these empires, which were known for their complex systems of governance and control.

The concept of division is significant in the biblical narrative, as it often relates to the organization of people for specific purposes, whether for governance, worship, or military endeavors. The use of פְלֻגָּה in Daniel highlights the importance of order and structure in the ancient world, as well as the influence of Aramaic as a lingua franca during the period of the Babylonian exile.
