Strong's Lexicon beqia or baqia: Cleaving, breaking, bursting Original Word: בְּקִיעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּקַע (baqa), meaning "to split" or "to cleave." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is διαίρεσις (diairessis), meaning "division" or "separation." Usage: The term "beqia" refers to the act or result of splitting, breaking, or bursting. It is often used in the context of physical division or separation, such as the splitting of the earth or the breaking of barriers. The word conveys a sense of forceful or decisive action, often associated with divine intervention or natural phenomena. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of splitting or breaking was significant in both physical and metaphorical contexts. The act of cleaving could symbolize judgment, deliverance, or the creation of a new path. The imagery of splitting is prevalent in biblical narratives, reflecting God's power to intervene in the natural world and alter the course of events for His purposes.
