Usage: The verb פָרַר (parar) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of breaking, violating, or frustrating something. It often conveys the idea of nullifying or rendering something ineffective, such as a covenant, plan, or intention.

Context: The Hebrew verb פָרַר (parar) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily conveying the sense of breaking or nullifying. It is often used in relation to covenants, agreements, or plans that are rendered void or ineffective. The term can also imply a sense of violation or frustration, where intended outcomes are thwarted or disrupted.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), פָרַר is translated in various ways depending on the context. For example, in Genesis 17:14, it is used in the context of breaking a covenant: "But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant." Here, the breaking of the covenant signifies a violation of the agreement between God and His people.

In Psalm 33:10, the term is used to describe the frustration of plans: "The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples." This usage highlights the sovereignty of God in nullifying human intentions that are contrary to His will.

The verb is also found in contexts where it describes the annulment of agreements or the rendering of something ineffective, as seen in Isaiah 44:25: "who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who confounds the wise and turns their knowledge into nonsense."

Overall, פָרַר (parar) underscores the theme of divine intervention in human affairs, where God has the power to break, annul, or frustrate plans and covenants according to His purposes.
