He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together:
Between them is a Barrier (Barzakh) which they do not transgress:
Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
[Qur'an Surah Rahman 55: 19-21]
“Literally Al-Barzakh means interval or a barrier between two things. Allah Almighty says: “Between them is a Barzakh (Barrier) which they do not transgress.” (Ar-Rahman: 20)
Technically, it stands for an intermediary stage between this life and another life in the Hereafter; it’s an interval between death and the Day of Resurrection. Allah says: “Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.” (Al-Mu’minun: 100)
One is discussing the barrier in between the sea and rivers i think, the other is referring to the place between this life and the day of judgement. And Allaah knows best.

It's mentioned three times in the Quran, I may be wrong though, Allahu a'lem.
Here are their references:
Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress:[55:20]
It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed.[25:53]
"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." - "By no means! It is but a word he says."- Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.[23:100]
