Strong's Lexicon Perets: Perez Original Word: פֶרֶץ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּרַץ (parats), meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name "Perets," the concept of "breaking through" or "bursting forth" can be related to Greek words like διέρχομαι (dierchomai - G1330), meaning "to go through" or "to pass through." Usage: The name "Perets" means "breach" or "bursting forth." It is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, most notably referring to one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar. The name signifies a breakthrough or a breach, often symbolizing a significant or unexpected event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of ancient Israel, names were often given to reflect circumstances surrounding a birth or to convey a prophetic message. The account of Perets is found in Genesis 38, where Tamar, Judah's daughter-in-law, gives birth to twins. During childbirth, Perets unexpectedly breaks forth before his brother Zerah, symbolizing a breach or breakthrough. This event is significant in the lineage of the tribe of Judah, as Perets becomes an ancestor of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ, as noted in the genealogies in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
