Usage: • The verb חָלַק (chalaq) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often related to the idea of dividing or distributing. It can refer to the physical act of dividing land or spoils, as well as more abstract concepts like dividing opinions or flattering with smooth words. Context: • The Hebrew verb חָלַק (chalaq) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament. It is often used in the context of dividing land or inheritance among the tribes of Israel, as seen in passages like Joshua 18:10, "Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions." • The term also carries the connotation of smoothness, which can be metaphorical, as in the use of flattering or deceitful speech. For example, in Psalm 55:21, "His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are softer than oil, yet they are drawn swords." • In a broader sense, חָלַק can imply the act of separating or distinguishing between different groups or ideas, as seen in the division of opinions or the separation of people for specific purposes. • The concept of division is central to the understanding of חָלַק, whether it be physical, as in the division of land, or metaphorical, as in the division of loyalties or intentions.
