Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun Purah, as it is a specific name found in the Hebrew Bible without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Purah appears in the context of the narrative of Gideon in the Book of Judges.

Context: Purah is mentioned in the Book of Judges as the servant of Gideon. In Judges 7:10-11, Gideon is instructed by God to go down to the Midianite camp to hear what they are saying, and if he is afraid to go alone, he is to take Purah with him. This indicates that Purah was a trusted servant, close to Gideon, and played a role in the events leading up to Gideon's victory over the Midianites. The presence of Purah alongside Gideon highlights the importance of companionship and support in fulfilling divine missions. The narrative underscores the theme of divine reassurance and guidance, as God provides Gideon with the means to overcome his fear through the presence of Purah.
