Thayer's Expanded Definition

μερισμός , -οῦ , ὁ

(< μερίζω ),

[in LXX for H4255, H4256, Joshua 11:23, Ezra 6:18 *;]

1. a dividing, division: ψυχῆς κ . πνεύματος (i.e. between them or of the things themselves, v. Westc., in l), Hebrews 4:12.

2. a distribution, bestowal (cf. μερίζω , 2); pl., Hebrews 2:4.†

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μεριστής

List of Word Forms

μερισμός, μερισμοῦ, ὁ (μερίζω), a division, partition (Plato, Polybius, Strabo, (others));

1. a distribution; plural distributions of various kinds: πνεύματος ἁγίου, genitive of the object, Hebrews 2:4.

2. a separation: ἄχρι μερισμοῦ ψυχῆς καί πνεύματος, which many take actively: 'up to the dividing' i. e. so far as to cleave asunder or separate; but it is not easy to understand what the dividing of the 'soul' is. Hence, it is more correct, I think, and more in accordance with the context, to take the word passively (just as other verbal substantive ending in μος are used, e. g. ἁγιασμός, πειρασμός), and translate even to the division, etc., i. e. to that most hidden spot, the dividing line between soul and spirit, where the one passes into the other, Hebrews 4:12; (cf. Siegfried, Philo von Alex. as above with, p. 325f).
