Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of breaking or dividing, as expressed by פָרַס, can be related to several Greek words in the New Testament, such as διαμερίζω (diamerizo • Strong's Greek 1266), which means to divide or distribute, and κλάω (klao • Strong's Greek 2806), which means to break, especially in the context of breaking bread. These Greek terms capture similar actions of division and distribution found in the Hebrew verb פָרַס.

Usage: The verb פָרַס (paras) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of breaking or splitting something into parts. It can also imply the distribution of portions or shares.

Context: The Hebrew verb פָרַס (paras) is a primitive root that conveys the idea of breaking or splitting something into pieces. This action can be both literal and metaphorical, depending on the context in which it is used. In the Hebrew Scriptures, פָרַס is often associated with dividing or distributing portions, whether it be food, land, or other resources.

For example, in the context of dividing food, the verb is used to describe the breaking of bread or other items for distribution among people. This is seen in passages where the sharing of resources is a central theme, highlighting the importance of community and provision.

The verb also appears in contexts where physical objects are broken or split, such as in the construction or destruction of structures. This usage underscores the physical act of dividing something into smaller parts, often for a specific purpose or function.

In a broader theological sense, פָרַס can symbolize the division of spiritual or moral truths, where the breaking or distribution of knowledge is intended to enlighten or instruct. This metaphorical use reflects the deeper layers of meaning that the Hebrew language often conveys through its verbs.

The action of פָרַס is integral to various narratives and laws within the Hebrew Bible, illustrating the practical and symbolic significance of division and distribution in the life of the Israelite community.
