Translations: they had been divided, of the, of her, of it
From the root: ΔΙΑΙΡΕΩ, Ο
Part of Speech: Verb, Article
Explanation: This word is a compound of the verb 'διήρηντο' (diērēnto) and the definite article 'τῆς' (tēs). 'Διήρηντο' is the third person plural pluperfect passive indicative form of the verb 'διαιρέω' (diaireō), meaning 'to divide' or 'to separate'. It indicates an action that was completed in the past before another past action, and the subjects were the recipients of the action (they had been divided). 'Τῆς' is the genitive singular feminine form of the definite article, meaning 'of the', 'of her', or 'of it'. The combination 'διήρηντο τῆς' would typically mean 'they had been divided of the...' or 'they had been divided from the...'. The example usage suggests it refers to something being divided from the lampstand.
