The term can also metaphorically describe division or separation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, tearing one's garments was a common expression of grief, mourning, or repentance. This act symbolized a heart torn by sorrow or contrition. The tearing of garments was a public display of one's inner emotional state and was often accompanied by other signs of mourning, such as wearing sackcloth or putting ashes on one's head.<div
