Strong's Lexicon diistémi: To separate, to part, to put asunder Original Word: διΐστημι Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "apart") and ἵστημι (histemi, meaning "to stand" or "to set"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves words like בָּדַל (badal), which means to separate or divide, commonly used in the Old Testament to describe God's separation of light from darkness or the Israelites from other nations. Usage: The verb διΐστημι is used to describe the action of separating or setting apart. It conveys the idea of creating a division or distinction between entities. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where a physical or metaphorical separation is being described. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of separation was significant in various contexts, including legal, social, and religious spheres. Separation could refer to physical distance, social distinctions, or religious purity. The idea of setting apart was also central to Jewish religious practices, where holiness often involved separation from the profane.
