surviving after the treatment, take the verb to denote “to cut up” by scourging, to scourge
severely, the word being used figuratively.
As to Matt. 24:51, it has been remarked that the “cutting asunder” was an appropriate
punishment for one who had lived a double life. In both passages the latter part of the
sentence applies to retribution beyond this life.¶ In the Sept. the verb is used in Exod.
29:17 of the dividing of the ram as a whole burnt offering at the consecration of the
priests.¶ The corresponding noun is found in Gen. 15:11, 17; Ex. 29:17; Lev. 1:8; Ezek.
24:4.¶

, 1967) is found in Matt. 6:11 and Luke 11:3. Some would
derive the word from , “upon,” and
, “to be,” as if to signify “(bread) present,” i.e.,
sufficient bread, but this formation is questionable. The same objection applies to the
conjecture, that it is derived from , and
$
, and signifies “(bread) for sustenance.”
The more probable derivation is from , and
, “to go,” (bread) for going on, i.e., for
the morrow and after, or (bread) coming (for us). See the
RV
marg. This suits the added
, “to-day,” i.e., the prayer is to be for bread that suffices for this day and next, so
that the mind may conform to Christ’s warning against anxiety for the morrow.
Confirmation of this derivation is also to be found in the word
$
, in the phrase “the
next day,” Acts 7:26; 16:11.¶
