Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of scattering is διασκορπίζω (diaskorpizō), Strong's Greek #1287, which also means to scatter or disperse.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "bazar" primarily means to scatter or disperse. It is often used in the context of spreading out or distributing something widely. This term can be applied to both physical scattering, such as the dispersal of people or objects, and metaphorical scattering, such as the spreading of ideas or influence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of scattering was significant both in agricultural and social contexts. Agriculturally, scattering seed was a common practice, essential for planting crops. Socially and historically, the scattering of people, such as during the Babylonian exile, was a pivotal event that shaped the identity and faith of the Israelite community. The idea of scattering also held theological implications, often seen as a form of divine judgment or a call to repentance and return.
