The term "sliced" does not appear explicitly in the Bible; however, the concept of cutting or dividing, which is closely related, is present in various contexts throughout the Scriptures. In biblical times, slicing or cutting was a common practice in daily life, particularly in the preparation of food, sacrifices, and offerings.

Sacrificial Practices:
In the Old Testament, the act of cutting or dividing animals for sacrifices was a significant ritual. Leviticus 1:6 states, "He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces." This process of slicing the sacrificial animal was part of the meticulous procedures commanded by God to the Israelites, symbolizing the seriousness and sanctity of the offerings made to Him.

Covenantal Symbolism:
The act of cutting or slicing also held covenantal significance. In Genesis 15:10 , when God made a covenant with Abram, "Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other." This act of slicing the animals and laying them out was a traditional method of ratifying covenants, symbolizing the binding nature of the agreement and the severe consequences of breaking it.

Food Preparation:
Slicing was also a practical aspect of food preparation. In the New Testament, the feeding of the five thousand is a notable event where Jesus multiplied loaves and fish to feed a large crowd. While the term "sliced" is not used, the breaking of bread can be seen as a similar action. Matthew 14:19 describes, "And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, spoke a blessing, and broke the loaves." This breaking or dividing of bread was a common practice in meal preparation and sharing.

Metaphorical Usage:
The concept of dividing or slicing can also be found metaphorically in Scripture. Hebrews 4:12 states, "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow." Here, the Word of God is described as having the ability to slice through the deepest parts of human existence, discerning thoughts and intentions.

Judgment and Division:
In prophetic and eschatological contexts, slicing or dividing can symbolize judgment and separation. In Matthew 25:32 , Jesus speaks of 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." This separation is akin to slicing, where a clear distinction is made between the righteous and the unrighteous.

While the specific term "sliced" is not found in the biblical text, the related actions of cutting, dividing, and separating are deeply embedded in the cultural, religious, and metaphorical language of the Bible, reflecting both practical and spiritual truths.(imp. & p. p.) of Slice.6398. palach -- to cleave
