Strong's Lexicon peluggah: Division, section, or company Original Word: פְּלוּגָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַג (palag), meaning "to divide" or "to split." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of division or section is διαίρεσις (diairessis), Strong's Greek #1244, which also conveys the idea of dividing or distributing. Usage: The term "peluggah" refers to a division or section, often used in the context of organizing groups or units, particularly in military or administrative settings. It implies a structured partitioning of a larger entity into smaller, manageable parts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, society was often organized into tribes, clans, and families, each with specific roles and responsibilities. The concept of division was crucial for maintaining order and efficiency, especially in military contexts where troops were divided into companies for strategic purposes. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern practice of organizing people into hierarchical structures for governance and warfare.
