Strong's Lexicon vazar: To scatter, disperse Original Word: וָזָר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of scattering is διασκορπίζω (diaskorpizō), Strong's Greek #1287, which also means to scatter or disperse. Usage: The Hebrew verb "vazar" primarily means to scatter or disperse. It is often used in contexts where something is spread out or distributed over an area. This can refer to physical scattering, such as seeds or people, or metaphorical scattering, such as the dispersion of ideas or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of scattering was significant both agriculturally and socially. Agriculturally, scattering seeds was a common practice 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 carried connotations of judgment and divine intervention, as God would scatter nations or peoples as a form of punishment or correction.
