It conveys a sense of forceful separation or breaking, often implying a sudden or violent action. This term is used both literally and metaphorically in the biblical text.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, tearing one's garments was a common expression of grief, mourning, or distress. This cultural practice is reflected in the biblical narrative, where tearing clothes often symbolizes deep emotional turmoil or repentance. The act of rending can also signify the breaking of barriers or the unveiling of hidden truths, as seen in various biblical contexts.<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/4486.htm">rhégnumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to tear asunder<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>break (2), tearing (1), tore (2).<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 1284: διαρρήγνυμι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διαρρήγνυμι</span></span> and <span class="greek2">διαρρήσσω</span> (<a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; see below)); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διέρρηξα</span>; imperfect passive 3 person singular <span class="greek2">διερρήγνυτο</span> (<a href="/interlinear/luke/5-6.htm">Luke 5:6</a>, where Lachmann text <span class="greek2">διερηγνυτο</span> and <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">διερησσετο</span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="greek2">διερρήσσετο</span>), also <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">διαρησσων</span> in <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a>; (<span class="manuref">WH</span> have <span class="greek2">διερηξεν</span> in <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-65.htm">Matthew 26:65</a>, and <span class="greek2">διαρηξας</span> in <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-68.htm">Mark 14:68</a>; see their Appendix, p. 163. and under the word P, <span class="greek2">π</span>)); <span class="accented">to break asunder, burst through, rend asunder</span>: <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">δεσμά</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a>; <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">δίκτυον</span>, passive, <a href="/interlinear/luke/5-6.htm">Luke 5:6</a>; <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἱμάτια</span>, <span class="greek2">χιτῶνας</span>, <span class="accented">to rend,</span> which was done by the Jews in extreme indignation or in deep grief (cf. <span class="abbreviation">B.
