It is used in contexts where something is divided or dispersed, often implying a forceful or violent action. This term can be applied both in physical and metaphorical senses, indicating the breaking or scattering of objects, people, or even abstract concepts like plans or intentions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of scattering was significant, often associated with divine judgment or punishment. The scattering of people, for instance, was seen as a consequence of disobedience to God, reflecting a loss of unity and strength. This idea is rooted in the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites, where scattering could also refer to the sowing of seeds, a necessary process for growth and harvest.<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 cleave in pieces<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cut them to pieces (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מּאה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> perhaps (si vera lectio) <font size="+1"><b>cleave in pieces</b></font> (Arabic (<img src="/bdbgif/bdb080201.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb080202.gif">) <img src="/bdbgif/bdb080203.gif"> <em>cleave, split</em> (head, bowl, etc.);
