Usage: The verb פָצַל (patsal) is used in the context of peeling or stripping away layers, often in reference to the process of removing bark from trees or skin from fruits.

Context: The Hebrew verb פָצַל (patsal) is a primitive root that conveys the action of peeling or stripping. This term is not frequently encountered in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a specific and limited application. The act of peeling, as denoted by פָצַל, involves the removal of an outer layer, which can be understood both in a literal and metaphorical sense. In ancient agrarian societies, such actions were common in the preparation of food or materials, such as the removal of bark for various uses. The concept of peeling can also carry symbolic meanings, such as the removal of outer facades to reveal an inner truth or essence. The verb is closely related to the physical act of uncovering or exposing what lies beneath the surface.
