Several; Severally [1]
sev´ẽr - al , sev´ẽr - al - i : The Hebrew words ḥophshūth and ḥophshı̄th , translated "several" in the King James Version, the English Revised Version, 2 Kings 15:5; 2 Chronicles 26:21 , are in both cases translated "separate" in the American Standard Revised Version, and indicate ceremonial uncleanness and consequent severance on account of leprosy. In the parable of the Talents ( Matthew 25:15 ) and also in 1 Corinthians 12:11 the word ἴδιος , ı́dios , is translated "several," "severally." In both cases it points to the individuality of the recipients of the gift bestowed.
