Strong's Lexicon perets: Breach, gap, bursting forth Original Word: פֶרֶץ Word Origin: From the root verb פָּרַץ (parats), meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "perets," the concept of a breach or breaking through can be related to Greek words like "ρήγμα" (rhēgma - G4486), meaning a break or fracture. Usage: The Hebrew word "perets" primarily denotes a breach or gap, often in the context of a wall or barrier. It can also refer to a breaking forth or an outburst, whether of water, people, or other forces. The term conveys the idea of a sudden and forceful opening or rupture. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, city walls were crucial for protection against invaders. A "perets" in a wall would signify vulnerability and exposure to danger. The concept of a breach also extended metaphorically to social and moral contexts, where it could represent a breakdown in relationships or covenantal faithfulness. The imagery of breaking through or bursting forth is also used in agricultural and military contexts, symbolizing growth, expansion, or victory.
