parashah: Section, division, portion

Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: parashah
Pronunciation: pah-rah-SHAH
Phonetic Spelling: (paw-raw-shaw')
Definition: Section, division, portion

Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַשׁ (parash), meaning "to separate" or "to declare."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of dividing Scripture into sections for reading and study is mirrored in the New Testament with terms like "pericope" (περικοπή, Strong's Greek 4042), which refers to a passage or section of text.

Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "parashah" refers to a section or division of the text. It is often used to denote a specific portion of Scripture, particularly in the context of the Torah, where it refers to the weekly Torah portion read in Jewish synagogues. The term underscores the idea of dividing the text into manageable and meaningful segments for study and public reading.

Cultural and Historical Background: The practice of dividing the Torah into weekly portions, or parashot, has ancient roots in Jewish tradition. This division facilitates the annual cycle of Torah reading, ensuring that the entire Torah is read publicly over the course of a year. Each parashah is named after a significant word or phrase in its opening verse, and these portions are central to Jewish liturgical practice. The tradition of reading from the parashah each week serves as a means of communal engagement with Scripture and has been a cornerstone of Jewish religious life for centuries.
