It is often mentioned in the context of the historical interactions between the Israelites and the Persians, particularly during the period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem. Context: Paras, or Persia, is a prominent nation mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, known for its vast empire and significant influence over the ancient Near East.
