Strong's Lexicon pirchach: Bud, sprout, blossom Original Word: פִרְחַח Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַח (parach), meaning "to bud" or "to sprout." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἀνθέω (antheo), meaning "to bloom" or "to flourish." Usage: The term "pirchach" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a young shoot or sprout, often symbolizing new growth, potential, and the beginning of life. It is a metaphor for renewal and the promise of future fruitfulness. The imagery of budding and blossoming is frequently employed in Scripture to convey themes of hope, restoration, and divine blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The growth of plants from buds to full maturity was a powerful symbol of God's provision and faithfulness. The process of budding and blossoming was seen as a sign of life and vitality, reflecting the natural cycles that were integral to the agrarian society. This imagery would have resonated deeply with the original audience, who depended on the land for sustenance and survival.
