It is often used in a physical sense, such as tearing garments, but it also carries a significant symbolic and spiritual meaning. The act of rending is frequently associated with expressions of grief, repentance, or divine judgment. Old Testament Context: In the Old Testament, rending garments was a common expression of deep sorrow, mourning, or repentance. For example, when Jacob believed that his son Joseph had been killed, he "tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned for his son many days" (<a href="/genesis/37-34.htm">Genesis 37:34</a>). Similarly, when King Hezekiah heard the blasphemous words of the Assyrian king, he "tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD" (<a href="/2_kings/19.htm">2 Kings 19:1</a>). The prophets often used the imagery of rending to call the people of Israel to genuine repentance. Joel exhorts the people, "Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion" (<a href="/joel/2-13.htm">Joel 2:13</a>). This highlights the importance of inner transformation over mere external displays of piety. New Testament Context: In the New Testament, the concept of rending is less frequent but still significant. At the crucifixion of Jesus, the veil of the temple was "torn in two from top to bottom" (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>). This event symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to God through the sacrifice of Christ. Symbolic and Spiritual Significance: Rending in the Bible often signifies a profound emotional or spiritual state. It is an outward manifestation of an inward reality, whether it be grief, repentance, or divine intervention. The act of rending one's garments or heart is a call to sincerity and authenticity in one's relationship with God. It serves as a reminder that God desires true repentance and a contrite heart over mere ritualistic expressions. Related Concepts: · Repentance: The act of rending is closely associated with repentance, as seen in the call to "rend your hearts" in <a href="/joel/2-13.htm">Joel 2:13</a>. True repentance involves a heartfelt turning away from sin and a return to God. · Mourning: Rending garments is a traditional expression of mourning, as seen in the actions of Jacob and Hezekiah. It reflects the depth of sorrow and loss experienced by individuals. · Divine Judgment: The tearing of the temple veil at Jesus' death signifies the fulfillment of divine judgment and the establishment of a new covenant through Christ. Conclusion: The biblical concept of rending serves as a powerful metaphor for the inner workings of the heart and the transformative power of genuine repentance and faith. It underscores the importance of sincerity in one's relationship with God and the profound impact of Christ's redemptive work.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
