Strong's Lexicon parits: Violent, ruthless, robber, tyrant Original Word: פְרִיץ Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַץ (parats), meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in words like ἄνομος (anomos, G459) meaning "lawless" or "wicked," and λῃστής (lēstēs, G3027) meaning "robber" or "bandit." Usage: The Hebrew word "parits" is used to describe individuals who are violent, oppressive, or tyrannical. It conveys a sense of forceful and aggressive behavior, often associated with those who break through boundaries or act with lawlessness. In the context of the Old Testament, it is used to describe people who are oppressors or who engage in acts of robbery and violence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "parits" would have been understood in the context of social and legal norms that valued community harmony and justice. Those labeled as "parits" were seen as disruptors of peace and order, often acting in defiance of God's laws. The term reflects the broader biblical theme of the struggle between righteousness and wickedness, where the "parits" represents the latter.
