Strong's Lexicon pelag: Stream, channel, division Original Word: פְלַג Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to split or divide. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pelag," the concept of division or separation can be found in Greek words like διαιρέω (diaireō - Strong's G1244), which means to divide or distribute. Usage: The Hebrew word "pelag" primarily refers to a stream or channel of water, often used metaphorically to describe divisions or separations. It conveys the idea of a natural or intentional division, such as a watercourse that divides land or a metaphorical division among people or nations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and streams or channels (pelagim) were vital for agriculture and sustaining life. The division of watercourses was a common practice to ensure fair distribution of water for irrigation. Metaphorically, divisions among people or nations were significant in the biblical narrative, often reflecting God's judgment or the consequences of human actions.
