Berean Strong's Lexicon Phares: Phares Original Word: Φαρές Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name פֶּרֶץ (Perets) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H6557 (Perets) Usage: Phares is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a significant figure in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. The name means "breach" or "bursting forth," reflecting the circumstances of his birth as recorded in the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: Phares, or Perez in Hebrew, was one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar, as recorded in Genesis 38. His birth was marked by unusual circumstances, as he was born after his brother Zerah, who initially put out his hand first. Phares became an important ancestor in the lineage of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. His inclusion in the genealogy highlights God's sovereign choice and grace, as his birth was the result of a complex and morally challenging situation.
