Strong's Lexicon paras: To spread, stretch out, extend Original Word: פָרַשׂ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: paras Pronunciation: pah-ras Phonetic Spelling: (paw-ras') Definition: To spread, stretch out, extend Meaning: to break apart, disperse Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1614 (ἐκτείνω, ekteino): To stretch out, extend - G4119 (πλεονάζω, pleonazo): To increase, abound (in the sense of spreading or extending) Usage: The Hebrew verb "paras" primarily means to spread or stretch out. It is often used in the context of spreading out hands in prayer or supplication, extending wings, or spreading a covering or garment. The action of spreading can denote an act of protection, blessing, or preparation. 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. Spreading a garment or wings could signify protection or shelter, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle where tents and coverings were essential for survival. The imagery of spreading is also used in the context of God's protection over His people, akin to a bird sheltering its young under its wings.
