sev'-er: The three Hebrew words badhal, palah and paradh are thus translated. The idea conveyed is that of setting apart (Le 20:26the King James Version) or of setting someone or something apart in a miraculous way (Ex 8:22;9:4the King James Version, the English Revised Version), or, again, of simple separation on one's own volition (Jud 4:11the King James Version, the English Revised Version). The Greek word aphorizo (Mt 13:49) stands for final judicial segregation.
