In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the dispersion of people, particularly in the context of persecution or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, scattering was a common agricultural practice, essential for planting crops. This imagery was often used metaphorically in Jewish and early Christian writings to describe the dispersion of people, such as the Jewish Diaspora. The concept of scattering also held theological significance, symbolizing both judgment and the spread of God's people to fulfill His purposes.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/4687.htm">speiró</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to sow throughout, i.e. fig. disperse (in foreign lands)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>scattered (3).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1289: διασπείρω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διασπείρω</span></span>: 2 aorist passive <span class="greek2">διεσπάρην</span>; <span class="accented">to scatter abroad, disperse</span>; passive of those who are driven to different places, <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-1.htm">Acts 8:1, 4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/11-19.htm">Acts 11:19</a>.
