Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּרָה (parah), meaning "to bear fruit" or "to be fruitful."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1080 (γεννάω, gennao): While not directly related to the term for heifer, this Greek word means "to beget" or "to bring forth," reflecting the concept of fruitfulness and birth, akin to the root meaning of פָרָה.
• G1151 (δαμάλις, damalis): This Greek term specifically refers to a heifer or young cow, directly corresponding to the Hebrew פָרָה in terms of its use in sacrificial and agricultural contexts.

The use of פָרָה in the Hebrew Bible highlights the cultural and religious significance of livestock in ancient Israel, serving as a symbol of purity, atonement, and agricultural prosperity.

Usage: The term פָרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a heifer, often in contexts related to sacrificial practices or agricultural descriptions.

Context: • The term פָרָה appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible, often associated with sacrificial rites and agricultural imagery. One of the most notable references is in the ordinance of the red heifer in Numbers 19:2, where a red heifer without blemish is used for purification purposes. This ritual underscores the importance of purity and atonement in the Israelite religious system.
• In Deuteronomy 21:3-4, the heifer is used in a ritual to atone for unsolved murders, symbolizing innocence and the community's responsibility for justice.
• The heifer is also mentioned in agricultural contexts, such as in Hosea 10:11, where Israel is compared to a trained heifer that loves to thresh, illustrating themes of labor and obedience.
• The heifer, as a symbol, often represents fertility, strength, and service, reflecting its role in both religious and everyday life in ancient Israel.
