         DefinitionShort: to cause a group or gathering to disperse or scatter, with possible emphasis on the distributive nature of the scattering (that is to say, each going in a different direction)

         Glosses: ['to scatter', 'to cause to disperse']

         Comments: In {S:04002502400050} it may be important to indicate clearly what was scattered. This could not be a reference to sowing, since sowing has already been mentioned in the previous statement. The reference in this verse may therefore be to chaff or to manure.
