It can also imply the act of distributing or apportioning something among different parties. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where physical or metaphorical division is taking place.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, division and distribution were common practices in various aspects of life, including inheritance, land distribution, and the allocation of resources. The concept of dividing was also significant in Jewish culture, particularly in the context of dividing land among tribes or distributing goods among people. The act of division often carried legal and social implications, reflecting the order and structure within communities.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1244</b> <i>diairéō</i> – properly, <i>apportion</i> (assign), by the <i>choice</i> of a superior; to divide (distribute). <a href="/greek/1243.htm">See 1243</a> (<i>diairesis</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><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/138.htm">haireó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to divide, to distribute<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>distributing (1), divided...between (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1244: διαιρέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διαιρέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">διαίρω</span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">διεῖλον</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to divide into parts, to part, to tear, cleave or cut asunder,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> and subsequent writings; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/15-10.htm">Genesis 15:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/3-25.htm">1 Kings 3:25</a>). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to distribute</span>: <span class="greek2">τί</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, Cyril 4, 5, 51; Hell. 3, 2, 10): <a href="/interlinear/luke/15-12.htm">Luke 15:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12-11.htm">1 Corinthians 12:11</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/joshua/18-5.htm">Joshua 18:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/23-6.htm">1 Chronicles 23:6</a>, etc.).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>divide. <p>From <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/138.htm">haireomai</a>; to separate, i.e. Distribute -- divide. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/138.htm">haireomai</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>διαιρεθήσεται διαιρεθώσιν διαιρείται διαιρούμενοι διαιρουν διαιρούν διαιροῦν διαιρών δίαιτα διαίταις δίαιταν διαίτη διαίτης διείλαντο διείλε διειλεν διείλεν διεῖλεν διελεί διελείν διελείσθε διελείται διελείτε διελέσθαι διέλετε διέλης διελούνται διελούσιν διηρέθη διηρέθησαν διηρημένη διήρηται διητώντο diairoun diairoûn dieilen dieîlen<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/luke/15-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Luke 15:12</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular">V-AIA-3S</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/luke/15.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">ὁ δὲ <b>διεῖλεν</b> αὐτοῖς τὸν</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/luke/15.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to me.'
