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: I break up, disperse, dissolve. Meaning: To dissolve, disband, or disperse; to break up or set free. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and the verb λύω (lyō, meaning "to loosen" or "to release"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαλύω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of dispersing or breaking up. Some related Hebrew entries might include: - פָּרַד (parad, Strong's Hebrew 6504): To separate, divide, or disperse. - פּוּץ (puts, Strong's Hebrew 6327): To scatter or disperse. These Hebrew terms reflect similar actions of breaking apart or dispersing, which align with the meaning of διαλύω in the Greek New Testament context. Usage: The verb διαλύω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of dispersing or breaking up a gathering or assembly. It can also imply the dissolution of a physical or metaphorical entity. Context: The Greek verb διαλύω appears in the New Testament in contexts where a group or assembly is being dispersed or dismissed. The term carries the connotation of breaking up or dissolving something that was previously united or gathered. In the Berean Standard Bible, διαλύω is used to describe the action of dismissing a crowd or breaking up a gathering. For example, in the account of the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus instructs His disciples to gather the leftovers after the multitude has been fed, and then He dismisses the crowd. The use of διαλύω in this context emphasizes the orderly dispersal of the people after a significant event. The term can also be applied metaphorically to describe the dissolution of relationships or the breaking of bonds, whether physical, social, or spiritual. In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of dispersal or dissolution can be seen as a contrast to the gathering and unifying work of God, who seeks to bring His people together in harmony and purpose.
