It is used in the context of separating or partitioning something into parts. This term is often associated with the division of land or people, and it carries the connotation of a significant or notable separation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, division of land was a common practice, often associated with inheritance, tribal allotments, or political agreements. The concept of division also held theological significance, as seen in the division of nations and peoples, which was often perceived as an act of divine will or judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to split, divide<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cleft (1), divide (1), divided (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מָּלַג</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>split, divide</b></font> (Late Hebrew chiefly in secondary meanings and derivatives;
