Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and χωρίζω (chōrizō, meaning "to separate" or "to divide"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποχωρίζω, similar concepts of separation or division can be found in Hebrew words such as בָּדַל (badal, Strong's Hebrew 914), which means "to separate" or "to divide," and פָּרַד (parad, Strong's Hebrew 6504), meaning "to separate" or "to disperse." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe acts of separation, whether in a physical, ceremonial, or relational context. Usage: The term ἀποχωρίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of separating or departing, often in a physical or relational sense. It can imply a division or a parting of ways, whether voluntary or involuntary. Context: The Greek verb ἀποχωρίζω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve physical separation or the act of departing from a place or person. It is used to describe situations where individuals or groups are divided or where someone leaves a particular location or company. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποχωρίζω is used in Acts 15:39: "Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus." Here, the term illustrates a significant division between Paul and Barnabas, leading to their separation in ministry paths. This usage highlights the relational aspect of the word, where a disagreement leads to a physical and ministerial separation. The concept of separation in the biblical context often carries deeper implications, such as the division of paths due to differing convictions or the necessity of parting for the sake of peace or mission. The term can also reflect the broader biblical theme of separation from sin or the world, though ἀποχωρίζω itself is more commonly used in a literal, physical sense.
