DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of χάσμα ‘yawning,’ not occurring in the NT) a deep, unbridgeable valley or trough between two points
Glosses: chasm
Comments: In this only NT occurrence of χάσμα the reference is to the impassable space between two parts of the supernatural abode of the dead. Translators frequently use a descriptive phrase such as ‘a deep valley which no one may cross’ or ‘a space which cannot be crossed.’
