Strong's Lexicon parsez: Divided Original Word: פַרְשֵׁז Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַס (paras), meaning "to divide" or "to break." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "parsez" in Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific term used in a Hebrew context. However, the concept of division can be related to Greek terms like "διαιρέω" (diaireō - G1266), meaning "to divide." Usage: The term "parsez" is famously used in the context of the writing on the wall in the Book of Daniel. It signifies the act of dividing or being divided, often with a connotation of judgment or allocation. In the biblical narrative, it is part of the divine message interpreted by Daniel to King Belshazzar, indicating the division of his kingdom. Cultural and Historical Background: The word "parsez" appears in the context of the Babylonian Empire, during the reign of King Belshazzar. The writing on the wall, "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN," was a divine message delivered during a feast, interpreted by Daniel as a prophecy of the fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persians. This event is historically significant as it marks the transition of power from the Babylonian Empire to the Medo-Persian Empire, a pivotal moment in the ancient Near East.
