בָּדַל bâdal · H914 · to separate, to sever, to separate oneself
Hebrew בָּדַל emphasizes physical or categorical separation/division (making distinct boundaries), while Greek διαστέλλομαι centers on the act of distinguishing or setting apart with implied command/injunction; both share the core semantic of differentiation but διαστέλλομαι adds an authoritative directive nuance that בָּדַל does not inherently carry.
