Strong's Lexicon diastéma: Interval, space, distance Original Word: διάστημα Word Origin: From the Greek verb διαστέλλω (diastellō), meaning "to separate" or "to set apart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent conceptually might be found in words like רֶוַח (revach), meaning "space" or "interval," though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Hebrew lexicon. Usage: The term "diastéma" refers to a space or interval between two points or objects. In a biblical context, it can denote a physical distance or a metaphorical separation. The word is used to describe both literal and figurative spaces, emphasizing the concept of division or distinction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "diastéma" was often used in philosophical and scientific discussions to describe the physical universe, including the spaces between celestial bodies. In the biblical context, the idea of separation or distance can also carry spiritual significance, reflecting the separation between God and humanity due to sin, or the distinction between the holy and the profane.
