Strong's Lexicon patsach: To break forth, burst into Original Word: פָצַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of breaking forth into song or praise can be related to Greek terms like "ἀγαλλιάω" (agalliaō - to exult, rejoice) and "ψάλλω" (psallō - to sing, make melody). Usage: The Hebrew verb "patsach" primarily means to break forth or burst into, often used in the context of an outburst of emotion or sound. It conveys a sense of suddenness and intensity, typically associated with joy, singing, or shouting. This term is often used in the context of worship and celebration, where the people of God express their joy and gratitude through song and praise. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, music and singing were integral parts of worship and communal life. Expressions of joy and celebration were often marked by spontaneous outbursts of song and praise, reflecting the communal and participatory nature of worship. The use of "patsach" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural context, where worship was not only a personal expression but also a collective experience of the community.
