Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb μερίζω (merizō), meaning "to divide" or "to apportion."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of division or distribution in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew words, such as חֵלֶק (cheleq, Strong's 2506), meaning "portion" or "share," and פָּרַד (parad, Strong's 6504), meaning "to separate" or "to divide." These terms reflect similar themes of apportionment and division found in the Greek μερισμός.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term μερισμός, its origins, and its theological implications, even though it is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible.

Usage: The word μερισμός is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) text. However, its root and related forms appear in contexts involving division or distribution, often in a metaphorical or spiritual sense.

Context: • The concept of μερισμός is significant in biblical theology, particularly in understanding the division of spiritual gifts, the distribution of resources, or the separation of soul and spirit. While the specific term μερισμός does not appear in the BSB, its root, μερίζω, is found in passages that discuss the allocation of spiritual gifts and the division of responsibilities within the body of Christ.
• Hebrews 4:12, although not using μερισμός directly, reflects the concept: "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart." This verse illustrates the profound ability of God's word to discern and divide, akin to the idea of μερισμός.
• Theologically, μερισμός can be understood as the divine act of distributing gifts and roles within the church, ensuring that each member functions according to God's purpose. This division is not for disunity but for the harmonious operation of the body of Christ, as seen in 1 Corinthians 12, where the distribution of spiritual gifts is discussed.
