         DefinitionShort: a structure for enclosing an open area

         Glosses: ['fence', 'wall']

         Comments: In practically all societies there is some type of fence, wall, or barrier employed to surround fields. In some instances this may consist of piled up logs or sticks; in other instances the wall may be made of packed dirt or of laid-up stone. What is important, however, is not the form, but the function, and therefore one may often use a descriptive expression, for example, ‘a barrier to surround a field,’ sometimes described as ‘a barrier to keep animals out of the field.’|φραγμός[a] is also used figuratively of the Law, which constituted a barrier between Jews and Gentiles: τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ ‘a wall of separation’ or ‘barrier’ {S:04900201400032}. In {S:04900201400032} φραγμός[a] may be rendered as ‘a wall to keep apart’ or ‘a wall to divide’ (see {D:34.39}).

         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:φραγμός}[a] ‘fence,’ {D:7.59}) that which serves as a means of separation in interpersonal relations

         Glosses: ['that which separates', 'that which isolates']

         Comments: In a number of languages, however, it may be necessary to indicate what or who is separated, and therefore one may need to translate this phrase in {S:04900201400032} as ‘… that separates Jews from Gentiles.’
