Usage: The Hebrew verb "para" primarily means to bear fruit or to be fruitful. It is often used in the context of physical fruitfulness, such as the bearing of children or the production of crops. It can also be used metaphorically to describe prosperity, growth, or the flourishing of a person or nation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fruitfulness was a sign of God's blessing and favor. The agrarian society of the Israelites placed a high value on fertility, both in terms of human offspring and agricultural produce. Being fruitful was often associated with obedience to God's commandments and was seen as a fulfillment of God's promises, such as those given to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
