MLV/Definition: A> [LITERAL:] separate^, separates*, separated*, separating^; B> [BY EXT:] depart^, departed^
(put some room in between things or people) (In passive form in 1 Corinthians 7, this word was a technical term for divorce in NT times, as Milligan and Moulton demonstrate from the papyri. The process of divorce under civil law in Corinth was that of both the Romans and the Greeks. There was no such thing, as our legal system has of a “Legal Separation” under that system, when one deserted a spouse, they were divorced. When one forced the other out of the home, they were divorced. Furthermore, no court judged formally in this matter.)
