These Greek terms reflect similar themes of separation, division, and spreading, illustrating the broad semantic range of פָרַד (parad) in the biblical context.

Usage: The verb פָרַד (parad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of breaking through, spreading out, or separating. It often describes physical separation or division, but can also be used metaphorically to describe relational or spiritual separation.

Context: The Hebrew verb פָרַד (parad) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, illustrating both physical and metaphorical separations. It is a primitive root that conveys the idea of dividing or parting. This term is used in several key passages to describe the act of separation, whether it be of people, nations, or objects.

In Genesis 10:5, פָרַד is used to describe the division of the nations: "From these, the coastlands of the nations spread out into their lands, each with its own language, by their clans within their nations." Here, the term emphasizes the spreading out and division of peoples across the earth.

In Genesis 13:9, the word is used in the context of Abram and Lot's separation: "Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left." This passage highlights a relational separation, where the term is used to describe the physical parting of ways between two individuals.

The concept of separation is also evident in the spiritual realm, as seen in passages where God separates His people from others or calls them to be distinct. The use of פָרַד in these contexts underscores the importance of holiness and distinction in the biblical narrative.
