Strong's Lexicon dialuó: To dissolve, to break up, to disperse, to release. Original Word: διαλύω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: dialuó Pronunciation: dee-al-oo'-o Phonetic Spelling: (dee-al-oo'-o) Definition: To dissolve, to break up, to disperse, to release. Meaning: I break up, disperse, dissolve. Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and λύω (luó, meaning "to loosen" or "to release"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαλύω, the concept of dissolution or breaking apart can be related to Hebrew terms such as פָּרַר (parar, Strong's H6565), meaning "to break" or "to frustrate," and פָּרַד (parad, Strong's H6504), meaning "to separate" or "to divide." Usage: The verb διαλύω (dialuó) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of dissolving or breaking up something that is united or whole. It can refer to the physical act of breaking apart or dispersing, as well as metaphorically to the dissolution of relationships or agreements. The term implies a transition from a state of unity or cohesion to one of separation or disintegration. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of dissolution was often associated with the breaking of social or political bonds, as well as the physical disintegration of materials. The term would have been understood in both literal and metaphorical contexts, reflecting the importance of unity and cohesion in ancient societies. In the biblical context, the idea of dissolution can also carry spiritual implications, such as the breaking of covenants or the dispersal of communities.
