Usage: The Hebrew verb "parats" primarily conveys the idea of breaking through or bursting forth. It is often used in contexts where there is a sudden or forceful increase or expansion. This can refer to physical breaking or spreading, such as a breach in a wall, or metaphorically, such as an increase in numbers or influence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "parats" would have been understood in both agricultural and military contexts. Agriculturally, it could describe the spreading of crops or livestock, symbolizing prosperity and blessing. Militarily, it could refer to breaking through enemy lines or fortifications, indicating victory and conquest. The term also carries covenantal implications, as God's promises often included the idea of expansion and increase for His people.
