Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּרַץ (parats), meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry related to the concept of "bursting forth" or "breaking through" is Strong's Greek Number G5329: φραγμός (phragmos), which means "a fence" or "a partition." While not a direct equivalent in terms of personal names, it shares the thematic element of division or separation, akin to the "breach" implied in the name Perets. Usage: The name Perets is used in the context of genealogy and lineage, particularly in the narratives concerning the descendants of Judah. Context: • Perets is a significant figure in the genealogical records of the Hebrew Bible. He is the son of Judah and Tamar, born as a result of a complex and morally challenging narrative found in Genesis 38. Tamar, Judah's daughter-in-law, disguises herself and conceives twins by Judah, one of whom is Perets. The birth of Perets is marked by a notable event where his twin brother Zerah initially puts out his hand, but Perets ultimately emerges first, leading to his name, which signifies a "breach" or "bursting forth."
