Interpretation – Dividing the Truth

Strong’s #6623, pithron. Division, interpretation. This word is only found in this narrative and only in relation to dreams. From pathar (#6622) which is the equivalent of the Aramaic peshar (#6590) to divide, cut in pieces, separate in parts as used in Ecc. 8:1. Cf. Gesenius, Fuerst. This idea of “dividing the meaning of a word” appears to be iterated by the Apostle Paul in which he used a word that had to do with cutting in a straight line ὀρθοτομοῦντα (#G3718),

“…straight-cutting the word of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:15 literal
