Berean Strong's Lexicon chórizó: To separate, divide, part, put asunder, depart Original Word: χωρίζω Word Origin: From the Greek word "χώρα" (chóra), meaning "space" or "region." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of separation is "בָּדַל" (badal), Strong's Hebrew 914, which means to divide, separate, or distinguish. Usage: The verb "chórizó" primarily means to separate or divide. It is used in the New Testament to describe physical separation, relational division, or spiritual departure. The term can imply a physical distancing or a more abstract separation, such as in relationships or spiritual matters. 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 the division of property, the dissolution of marriage, or the distinction between sacred and profane. In Jewish culture, separation was also a key theme, particularly in terms of purity laws and the distinction between Jews and Gentiles.
