Hiphil
(1) to separate, to disjoin, Leviticus 1:17 as two places by a veil, fence, wall. Exodus 26:33; Ezekiel 42:20; Genesis 1:6, things previously mixed together; Genesis 1:4.
(2) Figuratively applied to the mind, to separate, to distinguish diverse things, Levit. 10:9, 10; “ye shall not drink wine nor strong drink … that ye may distinguish the clean and unclean;” 11:47; 20:25. In both these significations (No. 1, 2) there follows בֵּין … וּבֵין Genesis 1:4, Exodus 26:33 בֵּין … לְבֵין Isaiah 59:2 בֵּין … לְ Genesis 1:6.
(3) to separate from the rest, to select out of them, in a good sense; followed by מִן Numbers 8:14, 16:9 Leviticus 20:24, 26 Leviticus 20:26 also followed by לְ of that to which any thing is destined, 1 Kings 8:53 also without מִן Deuteronomy 4:41, 10:8 1 Chronicles 25:1 absol. Deuteronomy 19:7; Ezekiel 39:14.
(4) to separate, to shut out, as a mixed multitude from a people; followed by מִן Nehemiah 13:3 מֵעַל Isaiah 56:3. With the addition of לְרָעָה Deuteronomy 29:20 as is often the case in medial phrases [i.e. those which may be taken in either a good or a bad sense].
Niphal
(1) pass. of Hiph. No. 3, to be separated, to separate oneself; followed by מִן Ezra 6:21, 9:1 10:11 also to be selected, Ezra 10:16 followed by לְ to or for any thing, 1 Chronicles 23:13.
