| However, 'hebedil' does not uniformly imply this type of dichotomy. For example, in Genesis 1:6 'hebedil' is used quite differently. In fact, the two things being separated are essentially the same. In the traditional translation we read "//let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide between the waters [and] the waters//". The division is of water vs water. Clearly this is not a dichotomy. | However, 'hebedil' does not uniformly imply this type of dichotomy. For example, in Genesis 1:6 'hebedil' is used quite differently.

| Our new translation renders the phrase a bit differently. "//we are structure in the middle of the Mayim. We are divided the sons of the Mayim//. Here the division appears to be between the Mayim, and the sons of the Mayim. I.e. there is a division between generations, or perhaps between eras. Although it is not immediately clear, the next verse may indicate that the division is defined by a location or possibly some kind of structure. In isolation, this passage seems too obscure to draw any further conclusion about the word 'hebedil'. This will be explored in greater detail under the topic of the [[Mayim]]. | Our new translation renders the phrase a bit differently. "//we are structure in the middle of the [[Mim]].

| Another particularly obscure usage occurs in Exodus 26:33; the single instance which applies 'hebedil' to the [[qeresim]] within the Tabernacle. Again, this passage will be discussed further in another article. | Another particularly obscure usage occurs in Exodus 26:33; the single instance which applies 'hebedil' to the [[qeresim]] within the Tabernacle.
