Strong's Lexicon phurama: Lump, dough Original Word: φύραμα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: phurama Pronunciation: foo'-rah-mah Phonetic Spelling: (foo'-ram-ah) Definition: Lump, dough Meaning: a mass or lump, as of bread dough. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb φύρω (phurō), meaning "to mix" or "to knead." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "phurama," the concept of leaven and dough is present in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the context of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (e.g., Exodus 12:15, Strong's Hebrew 4682 - matstsah). Usage: The term "phurama" refers to a mixture or mass, specifically of dough or clay. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a collective entity or group that is influenced or transformed by an element within it, such as leaven in dough. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, bread-making was a common daily activity, and the process of kneading dough was well understood by the people. Leaven, or yeast, was a small but powerful agent that caused the dough to rise, symbolizing influence and transformation. This imagery was often used in Jewish teachings to illustrate how a small element can permeate and change the whole.
