Berean Strong's Lexicon parshegen: Copy, text, decree Original Word: פַּרְשֶׁגֶן Word Origin: Of Persian origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a written decree or document can be related to Greek terms such as "γράμμα" (gramma, G1121) meaning "letter" or "document," and "διάταγμα" (diatagma, G1297) meaning "decree" or "ordinance." Usage: The Hebrew word "parshegen" refers to a written copy or text, often used in the context of official documents or decrees. It signifies an authoritative written record or transcript, particularly in legal or governmental settings. Cultural and Historical Background: The term "parshegen" is of Persian origin, reflecting the influence of the Persian Empire on the Jewish people during the time of the Babylonian exile and subsequent Persian rule. This period saw the integration of Persian administrative practices, including the use of written decrees and official documents, into Jewish society. The use of "parshegen" in the Hebrew Bible highlights the importance of written records in maintaining legal and governmental order.
