Topical Encyclopedia

The term "cut" in the Bible is used in various contexts, often symbolizing separation, division, or judgment. It appears in both literal and metaphorical senses throughout the Scriptures.

1. Literal Cutting: In the Old Testament, "cut" is frequently used in the context of physical cutting or dividing. For example, in Genesis 15:10, Abram "cut" the animals in two as part of a covenant ceremony with God: "So Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half" . This act of cutting was a traditional way to formalize a covenant, symbolizing the seriousness and binding nature of the agreement.

2. Circumcision: One of the most significant uses of "cut" is in the context of circumcision, a physical act that held deep spiritual significance for the Israelites. Genesis 17:10-11 states, "This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised. You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and you" . Here, the cutting away of the foreskin was a sign of the covenant between God and His people, marking them as set apart for Him.

3. Metaphorical and Spiritual Cutting: The Bible also uses "cut" metaphorically to describe spiritual truths. In John 15:2, Jesus speaks of the necessity of pruning in the life of a believer: "He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful" . This cutting is a process of spiritual growth and purification, where God removes what is unproductive or harmful to foster greater fruitfulness.

4. Judgment and Separation: "Cut" is often associated with divine judgment and separation from God. In Matthew 25:32, Jesus describes the final judgment: "All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats" . The act of cutting or separating here signifies the ultimate division between the righteous and the unrighteous.

5. Prophetic and Eschatological Contexts: In prophetic literature, "cut" can denote the end of a period or the destruction of nations. Daniel 9:26 speaks of the Messiah being "cut off": "After the sixty-two weeks, the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing" . This prophecy is understood to refer to the crucifixion of Christ, where He was "cut off" from the living, fulfilling His redemptive mission.

6. Warnings and Exhortations: The New Testament contains warnings about being "cut off" from the community of believers due to sin or false teaching. In Romans 11:22, Paul warns the Gentiles: "Consider therefore the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off" . This serves as an exhortation to remain faithful and obedient to God's covenant.

In summary, the concept of "cut" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings from physical acts to profound spiritual truths, often highlighting themes of covenant, purification, judgment, and separation.

CUT; CUTTING

(karath, gadha`, kachadh, nathach; apokopto, ekkopto): Many Hebrew words are translated "cut." Of these karath, "to cut down, out, off," is the most frequent. As "cut off" it is used in the sense of laying or destroying (Genesis 9:11 Deuteronomy 12:29 1 Kings 11:16 Psalm 101:8, etc.), also for cutting off transgressors from the community of Yahweh, which meant probably separation, or exclusion, rather than death or destruction (Genesis 17:14 Exodus 12:15, 19). Other words are damam, ("to be silent," "cease" Jeremiah 25:37 the King James Version; Jeremiah 48:2); tsamath "to destroy" (Psalm 54:5 the King James Version; Psalm 94:23, etc.); gadhadh, "to cut, one's self," is used of the cutting of one's flesh before heathen gods and in mourning for the dead, which was forbidden to the Israelites, (Deuteronomy 14:1 1 Kings 18:28 Jeremiah 16:6; Jeremiah 41:5; Jeremiah 47:5); sereT, sareTeth, "incision," are also used of those "cuttings of the flesh" (Leviticus 19:28; compare Leviticus 21:5). See CUTTINGS IN THE FLESH. The cutting of the hair of head and beard in mourning for the dead is referred to in Isaiah 15:2; "Every, beard is cut off" (gadha`), and Jeremiah 7:29, gazaz, "Cut off thy hair" (the Revised Version, margin "thy crown"), O Jerusalem (compare Isaiah 22:12 Jeremiah 16:6 Ezekiel 7:18 Amos 8:10). This early and widespread practice was also forbidden to the Israelites as being unworthy of them in their relation to Yahweh (Leviticus 19:27 Deuteronomy 14:1).

Charosheth, "carving," "engraving," is used for the cutting of stones (Exodus 31:5; Exodus 35:33).

In the New Testament we have apokopto "to cut away" (Mark 9:43, 15 Galatians 5:12 the King James Version; see CONCISION); diaprio, "to saw through" (Acts 5:33, "they were cut to the heart"); dichotomeo, "to cut in two" (Matthew 24:51); suntemno, "to cut together" (Romans 9:28), "finishing it and cutting it short," i. e; "making it conclusive and brief."

"mutilate themselves," the American Standard Revised Version "go "rest"), "noontide," margin "Or, tranquillity" (Gesenius, Delitzsch, etc., "in the quiet of my days"); instead of, "I would that they were even cut off which trouble you" (Galatians 5:12), Among the changes of the Revised Version (British and American) are "brought to silence" for "cut down" (Jeremiah 25:37), also for "cut off" (Zechariah 12:3); for "cut off," "pass through" (Job 11:10), head" (Amos 9:1), "break them in pieces on the head of"; for "in the cutting off of my days" (Isaiah 38:10; Hebrew demi, "silence," the English Revised Version has "cut themselves off," margin beyond circumcision," margin, Greek: "mutilate themselves." W. L. Walker "gone" (Psalm 90:10); "rolled up" (Isaiah 38:12); "cut off" for "destroy" (Psalm 18:40; Psalm 69:4; Psalm 118:10, 11, 12); for "cut them in the (Jeremiah 49:26; Jeremiah 50:30); "sore wounded" for "cut in pieces"
