Usage: The term "peshar" refers to the act of interpreting or explaining, particularly in the context of dreams, visions, or enigmatic messages. It is often associated with the divine gift of understanding mysteries that are beyond human comprehension. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the interpretation of dreams and visions was considered a significant skill, often attributed to divine insight.
