Subjects in this Topic:

sev´ẽr: The three Hebrew words bādhal, pālāh and pāradh are thus translated. The idea conveyed is that of setting apart ( the King James Version) or of setting someone or something apart in a miraculous way (; the King James Version, the English Revised Version), or, again, of simple separation on one's own volition ( the King James Version, the English Revised Version). The Greek word ἀφορίζω, aphorı́zō () stands for final judicial segregation.
