Strong's Lexicon badal: To separate, divide, distinguish, set apart Original Word: בָּדל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 873 (ἀφορίζω, aphorizo): To separate, set apart - Strong's Greek 331 (ἀναχωρίζω, anachorizo): To withdraw, depart Usage: The Hebrew verb "badal" primarily means to separate or divide. It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to describe the act of setting apart or distinguishing one thing from another. This can refer to physical separation, such as dividing waters, or more abstract separations, such as distinguishing between holy and profane. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of separation was significant in both religious and social contexts. The Israelites were called to be a people set apart for God, distinct from the surrounding nations. This separation was often symbolized through various laws and rituals, including dietary restrictions and Sabbath observance. The act of separating or distinguishing was a way to maintain purity and holiness, reflecting God's own nature as holy and distinct from creation.
