It implies a formal separation or release, particularly in marital relationships. The word captures the legal and social aspects of divorce in ancient Israelite society.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, marriage was a covenantal relationship with significant social and legal implications. Divorce, though permitted under certain circumstances, was not taken lightly. The issuance of a "certificate of divorce" (sefer keritut) was necessary to formalize the separation. The concept of "shilluchim" reflects the gravity and formality of such actions within the community, emphasizing the importance of legal and moral order in family life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7971.htm">shalach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a sending away, parting gift<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dowry (1), parting gifts (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">שִׁלּוּחִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine] plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sending away, parting gift</b></font>;
