6522. Perizzi

Strong's Lexicon

Perizzi: Perizzite

Original Word: פְרִזִי
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: Prizziy
Pronunciation: peh-RIZ-zee
Phonetic Spelling: (per-iz-zee')
Definition: Perizzite
Meaning: a Perizzite

Word Origin: Derived from the root word פָּרַז (paraz), meaning "to separate" or "to be unwalled."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Perizzi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context of the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Perizzi" refers to a group of people who were inhabitants of Canaan during the time of the patriarchs and the Israelite conquest. They are often listed among the various Canaanite tribes that occupied the land promised to the descendants of Abraham.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Perizzites were one of the indigenous peoples of Canaan, living in the land before the arrival of the Israelites. They are frequently mentioned alongside other Canaanite tribes such as the Hittites, Amorites, and Jebusites. The Perizzites are thought to have lived in rural, unwalled villages, which is suggested by the root meaning of their name. Their presence in the land posed a challenge to the Israelites, who were commanded by God to drive out the inhabitants of Canaan to establish a holy nation dedicated to Him.
