Usage: The Hebrew verb "parash" primarily means to declare or explain something clearly. It is used in contexts where clarification or detailed explanation is necessary, often in relation to the interpretation of laws, visions, or messages. The term implies a process of making something distinct or understandable, often through verbal communication.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, clarity and understanding of the law and divine messages were crucial for maintaining covenantal faithfulness. The role of priests, prophets, and scribes often involved the task of "parash," ensuring that the people understood God's commands and intentions. This was particularly important in a society where oral tradition played a significant role in the transmission of knowledge and religious practice.
