Usage: The Hebrew verb "parad" primarily means to separate or divide. It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament to describe physical separation, division among people, or dispersal of groups. The term can imply both a literal and metaphorical separation, such as the division of land or the separation of individuals due to conflict or divine judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of separation was significant both in daily life and religious practice. The Israelites were often called to be separate from surrounding nations in terms of worship and lifestyle. The idea of division also played a role in the allocation of land among the tribes of Israel and in the context of familial and tribal disputes. Understanding "parad" within this cultural framework highlights the importance of unity and the consequences of division.
