The term appears in various contexts, illustrating God's power, human conflict, and spiritual discernment. Creation and God's Sovereignty The first instance of division occurs in the creation narrative. <a href="/genesis/1-4.htm">Genesis 1:4</a> states, "God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness." This act of dividing light from darkness establishes God's authority over creation, setting the stage for the ordered universe. Similarly, in <a href="/genesis/1-6.htm">Genesis 1:6-7</a>, God divides the waters, creating the sky and the seas, further demonstrating His sovereign control over the natural world. Covenant and Promise In <a href="/genesis/15-10.htm">Genesis 15:10</a>, God instructs Abram to divide animals as part of a covenant ceremony. This division signifies the seriousness and binding nature of God's promises. The divided animals represent the consequences of breaking the covenant, underscoring the solemnity of God's commitments to His people. Human Conflict and Division Division also manifests in human relationships and nations. In <a href="/genesis/13-9.htm">Genesis 13:9</a>, Abram and Lot separate to avoid conflict, illustrating how division can be a practical solution to strife. The division of the kingdom of Israel after Solomon's reign (1 Kings 12) highlights the consequences of disobedience and the fulfillment of prophetic warnings. This division results in the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, each with its own trajectory and challenges. Spiritual and Moral Distinctions The Bible frequently uses division to illustrate spiritual and moral distinctions. In <a href="/matthew/25-32.htm">Matthew 25:32-33</a> , Jesus describes 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 division emphasizes the ultimate separation between the righteous and the wicked, based on their relationship with Christ and their actions. Unity and Division in the Church The New Testament addresses division within the early church, urging believers to maintain unity. In <a href="/1_corinthians/1-10.htm">1 Corinthians 1:10</a> , Paul appeals to the church: "I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction." Here, division is seen as a threat to the church's witness and effectiveness, calling for reconciliation and harmony among believers. Discernment and Division <a href="/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12</a> speaks of the Word of God as a tool for discernment: "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart." This metaphorical division highlights the penetrating power of Scripture to reveal truth and distinguish between right and wrong. Conclusion The theme of division in the Bible serves as a multifaceted concept, illustrating God's creative power, the consequences of human actions, and the spiritual discernment required of believers. Whether in the context of creation, covenant, conflict, or spiritual discernment, division underscores the importance of alignment with God's will and the pursuit of unity among His people.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The Hebrew has both meanings. Some render "He causes the sea to tremble." the Revised Version (British and American) reads "to stir" in text and "to still" in margin, while the King James Version has "to divide" in all three cases. <a href="/2_chronicles/35-13.htm">2 Chronicles 35:13</a>, "carried them quickly" (the King James Version "divided them speedily"). Since cholaq, may mean either "to distribute" or "to be smooth," <a href="/hosea/10-2.htm">Hosea 10:2</a> reads "their heart is divided" in the text, but offers "smooth" in margin (the King James Version "divided"). The Greek orthotomeo, means "to cut straight," hence, the more literal translation of <a href="/2_timothy/2-15.htm">2 Timothy 2:15</a>, "handling aright the word of truth" (note "holding a straight course in the way of truth" or "rightly dividing the word of truth"; the King James Version "rightly dividing").
