Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּרַץ (parats), meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3027 (λυμαίνομαι, lymainomai): This Greek term means "to maltreat" or "to destroy," often used in contexts of violence or desecration.
• G3061 (λοίδορος, loidoros): Refers to a "reviler" or "abusive person," someone who uses harsh and violent language.
• G4642 (σκληρός, sklēros): Meaning "hard" or "harsh," this term can describe a person who is severe or cruel in their actions or demeanor.

These Greek terms, while not direct translations, capture similar themes of violence, oppression, and harshness found in the Hebrew concept of פְרִיץ (pĕrîṣ). They reflect the broader biblical narrative's concern with the moral implications of tyranny and violence.

Usage: The word פְרִיץ (pĕrîṣ) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals or groups characterized by their violent and tyrannical behavior. It is used to depict those who oppress others through force and intimidation.

Context: The term פְרִיץ (pĕrîṣ) is found in the context of describing individuals who are notorious for their violent and oppressive actions. In the Hebrew Bible, such individuals are often seen as antagonists who disrupt peace and justice through their tyrannical rule. The word is used to highlight the moral and social corruption that arises when power is wielded without righteousness or compassion.

In Ezekiel 7:22, the term is used to describe the violent men who will desecrate the temple: "I will turn My face away from them, and they will desecrate My treasured place; robbers will enter it and profane it." (BSB). This passage underscores the destructive nature of those who are labeled as פְרִיץ (pĕrîṣ), emphasizing their role in bringing about chaos and desecration.

The concept of a פְרִיץ (pĕrîṣ) is not limited to physical violence but extends to any form of oppressive behavior that undermines justice and righteousness. The presence of such individuals in biblical narratives serves as a warning against the dangers of unchecked power and the moral decay that follows.
