It often refers to a physical or metaphorical division, such as the dividing of a kingdom or the breaking of bread. In the context of the Bible, it can symbolize judgment or the partitioning of something significant.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of division was significant both in a literal and symbolic sense. Divisions could refer to the splitting of land, the breaking of treaties, or the division of a kingdom. The act of breaking bread was also a common practice, symbolizing fellowship and covenant. The idea of division often carried connotations of judgment or change, reflecting the belief that God could intervene in human affairs to divide or separate according to His will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6536.htm">paras</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(a bird of prey) perhaps bearded vulture<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>vulture (2).<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">מֶּ֫רֶס</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> a <font size="+1"><b>bird of prey</b></font>, perhaps bearded vulture (<em>gypaelus barbatus</em>, 'ossifrage' (Tristr<sup>NHB 171;
