Hedge <1,,5418, phragmos>
denotes any sort of fence, hedge, palings or wall (akin to phrasso, "to fence in, stop"). It is used (a) in its literal sense, in Mat 21:33, lit. "(he put) a hedge (around);" Mar 12:1, Luk 14:23; (b) metaphorically, of the "partition" which separated Gentile from Jew, which was broken down by Christ through the efficacy of His expiatory sacrifice, Eph 2:14.
