Strong's Lexicon apodiorizó: To separate, to divide, to set apart Original Word: ἀποδιορίζω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and διορίζω (diorizó, meaning "to divide" or "to separate"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of separation in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words like בָּדַל (badal, Strong's H914), which means "to divide" or "to separate," and קָדַשׁ (qadash, Strong's H6942), meaning "to consecrate" or "to set apart as holy." Usage: The verb ἀποδιορίζω (apodiorizó) is used to describe the act of separating or setting apart something or someone. It conveys a sense of division or distinction, often with the implication of a purposeful or intentional separation. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the separation of people, ideas, or practices, often for the purpose of holiness or distinction from the world. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of separation was significant in both religious and social contexts. Separation could denote purity, holiness, or the setting apart of individuals or groups for specific roles or functions. In Jewish culture, the idea of being set apart was central to the identity of the people of Israel, who were called to be distinct from other nations through their covenant with God. This cultural understanding would have influenced the early Christian community's interpretation of separation as a call to holiness and distinctiveness in their faith and practice.
