SIBI-P1 G4977-05
let us split apart
| Root | σχίζω (schízō) |
| Core Meanings | split, sever, divide, rend, tear apart |
| Semantic Range | to split physically (garments, rocks), to divide into parts, to open by tearing, to cause division or schism figuratively |
| Conceptual Significance | The root conveys forceful division, whether physical (as in tearing a garment) or relational (as in causing division among people). It underlies the concept of "schism," highlighting the seriousness of rupture or separation within communal or covenantal contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple, undefined action), active voice, subjunctive mood, first person plural. The subjunctive in this form commonly expresses a hortatory appeal ("let us..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb σχίζω fundamentally means to split or tear apart into distinct parts. The aorist active subjunctive, first person plural, functions as a hortatory expression—"let us"—calling for a decisive act of splitting, which is preserved in the rendering "let us split apart." |
