◄ 6527. parat ►
Strong's Lexicon parat: To break forth, to spread, to increase Original Word: פָרַט Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: parat Pronunciation: pah-RAHT Phonetic Spelling: (paw-rat') Definition: to scatter words, prate Meaning: To scatter words, prate Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5397 (φλυαρέω, phlyareo): To prate, to talk nonsense or foolishly • G3150 (ματαιολογία, mataiologia): Vain talking, idle talk These Greek entries reflect similar concepts of idle or foolish speech, providing a New Testament parallel to the Hebrew פָרַט (parat). The emphasis in both Hebrew and Greek lexicons is on the quality and intention behind speech, encouraging believers to engage in communication that is constructive and meaningful. Usage: The term פָרַט (parat) is used in the context of speaking in a scattered or prattling manner, often implying a sense of idle or trivial talk. Context: The Hebrew verb פָרַט (parat) is a primitive root that conveys the action of scattering, particularly in the context of speech. It is used to describe the act of prating or speaking in a way that is scattered and lacks substance. This term is not frequently encountered in the Hebrew Bible, indicating its specific and nuanced application to speech that is considered idle or frivolous. The concept of prating is often associated with a lack of wisdom or purpose in communication, contrasting with the biblical ideal of speech that is thoughtful and edifying. In the Berean Standard Bible, the emphasis on the quality and intention behind words is a recurring theme, aligning with the broader biblical narrative that values meaningful and purposeful communication.
