Strong's Lexicon pera: Unrestrained, wild, out of control Original Word: פֶּרַע Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּרַע (para), meaning "to let go" or "to be unrestrained." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G113: ἄτακτος (ataktos) - disorderly, unruly - G506: ἀναρχία (anarchia) - lawlessness, without rule Usage: The Hebrew word "pera" is used to describe a state of being unrestrained or wild. It often conveys the idea of lacking discipline or control, whether in behavior, appearance, or spiritual condition. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to individuals or groups who are not adhering to God's laws or societal norms. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, restraint and discipline were highly valued, both in personal conduct and in community life. The concept of being "unrestrained" was often associated with chaos and disorder, which were seen as contrary to the order and harmony that God intended for His people. The Israelites were called to live according to God's commandments, which provided structure and guidance for righteous living.
