It can also imply squandering or wasting resources. In the New Testament, it is used both literally, as in scattering seed, and metaphorically, as in dispersing people or resources.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, scattering seed was a common practice, essential for planting crops. The concept of scattering also had social and religious implications, as it could refer to the dispersion of people, such as the Israelites during the Exile. The idea of squandering resources was a moral and ethical concern, reflecting the values of stewardship and responsibility prevalent in Jewish and early Christian teachings.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1287</b> <i>diaskorpízō</i> (from 1223<i>dia</i>, "thoroughly," which intensifies <a href="/greek/4650.htm">4650</a> <i>/skorpízō</i>, "scatter") – properly, <i>widely</i> scatter, disperse greatly (note the force of the prefix, <i>diá</i>). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/4650.htm">skorpizó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>generally to separate, spec. to winnow, fig. to squander<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>scattered (6), scattered abroad (1), squandered (1), squandering (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1287: διασκορπίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διασκορπίζω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διεσκόρπισα</span>; passive, perfect participle <span class="greek2">διεσκορπισμενος</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διεσκορπίσθην</span>; 1 future <span class="greek2">διεσκορπισθήσομαι</span>; often in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>, more rarely in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 1, 47, 4; 27, 2, 10 on (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 218; (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 25)); <span class="accented">to scatter abroad, disperse</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/11-52.htm">John 11:52</a> (opposed to <span class="greek2">συνάγω</span>); of the enemy, <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-51.htm">Luke 1:51</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/5-37.htm">Acts 5:37</a> (<a href="/interlinear/numbers/10-35.htm">Numbers 10:35</a>, etc. <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 8, 15, 4; <span class="abbreviation">Aelian</span> v. h. 13, 46 (1, 6) <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">δράκων</span> <span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">μέν</span> <span class="greek2">διεσκόρπισε</span>, <span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">δέ</span> <span class="greek2">ἀπέκτεινε</span>).
