        Glosses: ['to divorce', 'to separate']

        Comments: Expressions for divorce are often based on terms meaning literally ‘to send away,’ ‘to separate from,’ or ‘to leave one another.’ However, in a number of languages idiomatic expressions are employed, for example ‘to send him off with his clothes,’ ‘to untie the knot between them,’ or ‘to throw away her hearthstones.’|Some persons have attempted to make an important distinction between ἀφίημι in {S:04600701100030 04600701300030} and {L:χωρίζω} in {S:04600701500010} on the assumption that ἀφίημι implies legal divorce, while {L:χωρίζω} only relates to separation. Such a distinction, however, seems to be quite artificial.

        DefinitionShort: to remove the guilt resulting from wrongdoing

        Glosses: ['to pardon', 'to forgive', 'forgiveness']

        Comments: It is extremely important to note that the focus in the meanings of ἀφίημι[f], ἄφεσις[a], and ἀπολύω[e] is upon the guilt of the wrongdoer and not upon the wrongdoing itself. The event of wrongdoing is not undone, but the guilt resulting from such an event is pardoned. To forgive, therefore, means essentially to remove the guilt resulting from wrongdoing.|Some languages make a clear distinction between guilt and sin, and terms for forgiveness are therefore related to guilt and not to the wrongdoing. Therefore, ‘to forgive sins’ is literally ‘to forgive guilt.’ Though terms for ‘forgiveness’ are often literally ‘to wipe out,’ ‘to blot out,’ or ‘to do away with,’ it is obviously not possible to blot out or to wipe out an event, but it is possible to remove or obliterate the guilt.
