These Greek entries provide a broader understanding of the concept of separation and leading away, which can be related to the idea of becoming licentious as seen in the Hebrew פָשַׂק (pasaq). The Greek terms emphasize the action of leading or tearing apart, which aligns with the notion of moral and ethical separation found in the Hebrew context.

Usage: The term פָשַׂק (pasaq) is used in the context of separating or parting, often with a connotation of becoming licentious or morally unrestrained.

Context: The Hebrew root פָשַׂק (pasaq) is a verb that primarily conveys the idea of parting or separating. In its usage, it often implies a moral or ethical separation, where an individual or group becomes licentious or morally unrestrained. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its implications are significant in understanding the moral and ethical boundaries set forth in the biblical text. The concept of becoming licentious is often associated with a departure from the covenantal laws and ethical standards that are central to the Hebrew Scriptures. The act of disparting, in this sense, is not merely physical but also spiritual and moral, indicating a breach in the relationship with God and a movement towards moral decay.
