Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַשׁ (parash), which means "to spread out" or "to expand."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1600 (ἐκτείνω, ekteino), which means "to stretch out" or "to extend." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe actions such as stretching out one's hand or extending mercy, paralleling the Hebrew concept of expansion or spreading out.

Usage: This term is used in the context of expansion or spreading out, often in a metaphorical sense, to describe the act of enlarging or extending something.

Context: The Hebrew word פַרְשֵׁז (parshēz) is a term that conveys the idea of expansion or spreading out. It is derived from the root פָּרַשׁ (parash), which is commonly associated with the act of spreading or extending. This root is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often to describe the physical act of spreading out, such as the spreading of wings or the extension of territory.

In a metaphorical sense, פַרְשֵׁז can be understood as the expansion of influence, territory, or understanding. The concept of expansion is significant in the biblical narrative, where the growth and spread of God's people and their influence are recurring themes. The idea of spreading out is also linked to the fulfillment of divine promises, such as the promise to Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars and would inhabit a vast land.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not contain a direct translation of פַרְשֵׁז, but the concept of expansion is present in various passages that speak of God's blessings and the growth of His people. For example, in Genesis 28:14, God promises Jacob, "Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south." This passage captures the essence of פַרְשֵׁז as it relates to the expansion of Jacob's lineage.
