Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַק (chalak), which means "to divide" or "to apportion."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1243 (διαίρεσις, diairesis): Refers to a division or distribution, often used in the context of spiritual gifts or roles within the church.
• G1267 (διαμερισμός, diamerismos): Denotes a division or dissension, particularly in the context of differing opinions or conflicts.
• G2183 (εἰρηνοποιός, eirenopoios): While not a direct equivalent, this term relates to peacemaking, the opposite of division.
• G3311 (μερισμός, merismos): Refers to a division or distribution, similar to the Hebrew concept of dividing portions or sections.

In summary, מַחֲלֹקֶת (machaloqeth) is a term that encapsulates the concept of division, whether in the form of physical sections, organized groups, or ideological disagreements, and is reflected in various Greek terms that convey similar ideas of division and distribution.

Usage: The word מַחֲלֹקֶת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various forms of division or separation, whether it be among people, land, or opinions. It appears in contexts that involve the organization of groups or the delineation of territories.

Context: • מַחֲלֹקֶת (machaloqeth) is a noun that appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is often used to describe divisions among people, such as tribes or groups, and can also refer to the allocation of land or resources. For example, in 1 Chronicles 26:1, it is used to describe the divisions of the gatekeepers: "The divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites, there was Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph."
• The term can also imply a division of opinion or a contentious situation, as seen in Numbers 16:1, where it describes the rebellion of Korah: "Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted a rebellion against Moses."
• מַחֲלֹקֶת is thus a versatile term that captures both physical and ideological separations, reflecting the multifaceted nature of division in human experience.
