Strong's Lexicon diastolé: Distinction, difference Original Word: διαστολή Word Origin: From the Greek verb διαστέλλω (diastellō), meaning "to distinguish" or "to set apart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diastolé," the concept of distinction can be related to Hebrew terms like בָּדַל (badal), meaning "to separate" or "to divide." Usage: The term "diastolé" refers to a distinction or difference between things. In the New Testament, it is used to denote a separation or differentiation, often in the context of distinguishing between groups or categories, such as between Jews and Gentiles or between clean and unclean. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, distinctions were often made between various social, ethnic, and religious groups. The early Christian community grappled with these distinctions, especially as the Gospel spread beyond Jewish communities to Gentile populations. The concept of "diastolé" would have been significant in discussions about the inclusivity of the Gospel and the breaking down of traditional barriers.
