Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for פָטִיר (patir) in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of "opening" or "freeing" can be related to Greek terms such as ἀνοίγω (anoigo • Strong's Greek 455), meaning "to open," or ἐλευθερόω (eleutheroo • Strong's Greek 1659), meaning "to set free" or "to liberate." These Greek terms capture similar themes of liberation and openness found in the Hebrew context.

Usage: The word פָטִיר (patir) is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible. It is typically associated with the concept of being open or free, possibly in a metaphorical sense, such as being unoccupied or available.

Context: • פָטִיר (patir) is a term that appears in the Hebrew Bible with the connotation of being open or unoccupied. The root פָטַר (patar) from which it is derived is more commonly used and carries the idea of opening or freeing, which can be applied in various contexts, such as the opening of a womb or the freeing of a person from obligations.
• In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of being "open" or "free" can have significant theological implications, often relating to themes of liberation, release, or the absence of constraints. This can be seen in the context of the Israelites' liberation from Egypt or the freeing of individuals from sin and bondage.
• The term פָטִיר (patir) itself, while not extensively used, contributes to the rich tapestry of Hebrew vocabulary that emphasizes the importance of freedom and openness in the spiritual and physical realms.
