Usage: The verb פָרַשׂ (parash) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of breaking apart or dispersing. It is often used in contexts where something is spread out or scattered. Context: The Hebrew verb פָרַשׂ (parash) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, primarily conveying the idea of spreading out or dispersing. This term is used to describe actions such as the spreading of wings, the dispersal of people, or the scattering of objects. The imagery associated with פָרַשׂ often involves a movement from a state of unity or concentration to one of separation or distribution. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of פָרַשׂ can be seen in passages where the physical act of spreading or dispersing is metaphorically applied to describe divine actions or natural phenomena. For example, the spreading of wings can symbolize protection or covering, while the dispersal of people might indicate judgment or exile. The concept of dispersion is significant in biblical theology, often reflecting themes of judgment, exile, and the scattering of nations. However, it can also carry positive connotations, such as the spreading of blessings or the expansion of influence.
