Strong's Lexicon parah: To bear fruit, be fruitful, increase Original Word: פָרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2592 (karpophoreo): To bear fruit, to bring forth fruit - G2590 (karpos): Fruit Usage: The Hebrew verb "parah" primarily means "to bear fruit" or "to be fruitful." It is often used in the context of physical fruitfulness, such as the bearing of children or the production of crops. The term can also be applied metaphorically to describe prosperity, growth, or success in various endeavors. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fruitfulness was a significant concept, both agriculturally and in terms of family lineage. The ability to bear children was seen as a blessing from God, and agricultural abundance was a sign of divine favor. The idea of fruitfulness is deeply embedded in the covenantal promises given to the patriarchs, where God promises to make them fruitful and multiply their descendants.
