Word Origin: From the Greek prefix δια- (dia-, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and ῥήσσω (rhesso, meaning "to break" or "to burst"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of tearing or rending is קָרַע (qarah), which also means to tear or rend, as seen in passages like Genesis 37:29 and 2 Kings 2:12. Usage: The verb διαρρήσσω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of tearing or rending something apart. It conveys a sense of forceful separation or breaking, often implying a sudden or violent action. This term is used both literally and metaphorically in the biblical text. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, tearing one's garments was a common expression of grief, mourning, or distress. This cultural practice is reflected in the biblical narrative, where tearing clothes often symbolizes deep emotional turmoil or repentance. The act of rending can also signify the breaking of barriers or the unveiling of hidden truths, as seen in various biblical contexts.
