Berean Strong's Lexicon p'er: Beauty, Glory, Splendor, Ornament Original Word: פְּאֵר Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּאַר (pa'ar), which means "to beautify" or "to glorify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "p'er" is δόξα (doxa), which means glory or honor. Usage: The Hebrew word "p'er" primarily denotes beauty or splendor, often in the context of something that is ornamental or glorifying. It is used to describe physical beauty, as well as the glory or honor that comes from God. The term can also refer to a turban or headdress, symbolizing dignity and honor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, beauty and splendor were often associated with divine favor and blessing. The use of "p'er" in the context of clothing or adornment reflects the cultural importance of appearance as a reflection of one's status and relationship with God.
