Berean Strong's Lexicon shilluchim: Sendings, dismissals, or divorces Original Word: שִׁלּוּחִים Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁלַח (shalach), meaning "to send" or "to let go." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G647 (ἀποστάσιον, apostasion) - Refers to a bill of divorce or a formal separation. - G630 (ἀπολύω, apolyo) - Means to release, dismiss, or send away, often used in the context of divorce in the New Testament. Usage: The term "shilluchim" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the act of sending away or dismissing, often in the context of divorce. It implies a formal separation or release, particularly in marital relationships. The word captures the legal and social aspects of divorce in ancient Israelite society. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, marriage was a covenantal relationship with significant social and legal implications. Divorce, though permitted under certain circumstances, was not taken lightly. The issuance of a "certificate of divorce" (sefer keritut) was necessary to formalize the separation. The concept of "shilluchim" reflects the gravity and formality of such actions within the community, emphasizing the importance of legal and moral order in family life.
