Strong's Lexicon peresh: Dung, refuse, excrement Original Word: פֶרֶשׁ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: peresh Pronunciation: peh'-resh Phonetic Spelling: (peh'-resh) Definition: Dung, refuse, excrement Meaning: excrement Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to break up Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "peresh" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of ritual purity and the specific handling of sacrificial refuse is more prominent in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The Hebrew word "peresh" primarily refers to dung or excrement. It is used in the context of waste material, often associated with the remains of animals or the refuse from sacrificial offerings. The term is used to describe something that is considered unclean or to be discarded. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness and purity were of utmost importance, especially in religious practices. The disposal of "peresh" was necessary to maintain ritual purity, particularly in the context of temple sacrifices. The presence of dung was seen as defiling, and its removal was part of the broader Levitical laws concerning cleanliness. The handling and disposal of such waste were regulated to prevent contamination and to uphold the sanctity of the community and worship practices.
