Strong's Lexicon pazar: To scatter, disperse Original Word: פָזַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "pazar" is διασκορπίζω (diaskorpizō), Strong's Greek 1287, which also means to scatter or disperse. Usage: The Hebrew verb "pazar" primarily means to scatter or disperse. It is often used in the context of spreading out or dispersing people, objects, or even ideas. The term can imply a physical scattering, such as the dispersion of a group of people, or a more abstract scattering, such as the spreading of wealth or resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of scattering was significant both in agricultural and social terms. Agriculturally, scattering seed was a common practice, essential for planting crops. Socially, the scattering of people often occurred due to warfare, exile, or divine judgment, as seen in the history of Israel. The dispersion of the Israelites among the nations was a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often seen as a consequence of disobedience to God.
