Do you know what the author of Hebrews, purportedly Paul, meant by "it penetrates even to dividing"?

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

I know that according to greek, penetrates means "occurrence", but dividing not so sure. How does that correlate? Does dividing signify salvation, rhema? Is this a supernatural occurrence?
