Berean Strong's Lexicon pelag: Stream, channel, division Original Word: פּלג Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: pelag Pronunciation: peh-lag Phonetic Spelling: (pel-ag') Definition: Stream, channel, division Meaning: a half Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4215 (potamos) - river, stream - G5493 (cheimarros) - winter-flowing stream Usage: The Hebrew word "pelag" primarily refers to a stream or channel of water, often used metaphorically to describe divisions or separations. It conveys the idea of a natural or intentional division, such as a watercourse that divides land or a metaphorical division among people or nations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and streams or channels were vital for agriculture and sustaining life. The concept of division, whether of land or people, was significant in the biblical narrative, often symbolizing God's providence or judgment. The division of waters, as seen in creation and the Exodus, reflects God's control over nature and history.
