Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root פער (pa'ar), which means "to open" or "to free."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name פַעֲרַי (Paarai), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The name Paarai appears in the context of a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Paarai the Arbite: Paarai is listed among the mighty warriors of King David, known as David's Mighty Men. He is specifically referred to as "Paarai the Arbite" in 2 Samuel 23:35. The term "Arbite" likely indicates his origin from a place called Arab, which is thought to be located in the territory of Judah. The mention of Paarai highlights his valor and significance as part of the elite group of warriors who supported David during his reign. In the parallel account found in 1 Chronicles 11:37, the name is rendered as "Naarai the son of Ezbai," suggesting a possible textual variation or alternative name for the same individual.
