Berean Strong's Lexicon pasas: To disappear, vanish, cease Original Word: פָּסַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pasas," the concept of vanishing or ceasing can be found in Greek words such as "παρέρχομαι" (parerchomai - Strong's Greek 3928), which means to pass away or disappear. Usage: The Hebrew verb "pasas" primarily conveys the idea of something coming to an end or ceasing to exist. It is used to describe the act of vanishing or disappearing, often in the context of something that was once present but is no longer visible or existent. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of things disappearing or ceasing was often associated with divine intervention or natural processes. The Hebrew mindset viewed the world as under the sovereign control of God, who could cause things to appear or disappear according to His will. This understanding is reflected in the use of "pasas" in the Hebrew Bible, where it often denotes the transient nature of life and the temporal state of worldly things.
