Strong's Lexicon patur: Interpretation Original Word: פָטוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּטַר (patar), meaning "to interpret" or "to solve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for interpretation is found in Strong's Greek Dictionary under the entry G2058 (hermeneia), which also refers to interpretation or explanation, particularly in the context of spiritual gifts as seen in 1 Corinthians 12:10. Usage: The Hebrew word "patur" is used to denote the act of interpreting or explaining something, particularly dreams or visions. It is closely associated with the ability to discern and convey the meaning of symbolic or enigmatic messages. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams and their interpretations were considered significant, often believed to be messages from the divine. Interpreters, or those who could provide "patur," were highly regarded and often consulted by rulers and individuals seeking guidance. The practice of dream interpretation was common in the courts of kings, where wise men and magicians were tasked with revealing hidden meanings.
