Strong's Lexicon paras: To spread, stretch out, break in pieces Original Word: פָרַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1614 (ἐκτείνω, ekteino): To stretch out, extend - G1289 (διαμερίζω, diamerizo): To divide, distribute Usage: The Hebrew verb "paras" primarily means to spread or stretch out. It can also imply breaking or dividing something into pieces. This term is often used in the context of spreading out hands in prayer or supplication, as well as in the physical act of spreading or dividing objects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of spreading out one's hands was a common posture in prayer, symbolizing openness and receptivity to God. The concept of dividing or breaking also held significance, particularly in sacrificial rituals and offerings, where items were divided as part of the ceremonial process. The imagery of spreading or breaking can also be seen in the context of God's actions, such as spreading out the heavens or dividing the sea.
