Berean Strong's Lexicon pitslah: Fragment, piece, shard Original Word: פִּצְלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root פצל (patsal), meaning "to split" or "to divide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of breaking or division is "κλάσμα" (klasma), Strong's Greek #2801, meaning "fragment" or "piece." Usage: The term "pitslah" refers to a fragment or piece, often used in the context of something that has been broken or divided. It conveys the idea of a part of a whole that has been separated, typically through breaking or splitting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of division or breaking was often associated with judgment or the consequences of sin. The breaking of objects could symbolize the breaking of covenants or relationships. The use of "pitslah" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the physical reality of brokenness as well as the spiritual and relational implications of division.
