Strong's Lexicon parsah: Hoof Original Word: פַרְסָה Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to break apart Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "parsah," the concept of clean and unclean animals is addressed in the New Testament, particularly in Acts 10:14-15, where Peter's vision challenges the traditional Jewish dietary laws. Usage: The term "parsah" refers to the hoof of an animal, particularly those of cloven-footed animals. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often used in the context of dietary laws, where animals with cloven hooves are considered clean and permissible for consumption. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, dietary laws were a significant aspect of religious observance, as outlined in the Torah. The distinction between clean and unclean animals was a way to maintain ritual purity and obedience to God's commandments. Animals with cloven hooves and that chew the cud, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, were deemed clean and suitable for sacrifice and consumption. This classification underscored the Israelites' identity as a people set apart for God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom paras Definition a hoof NASB Translation hoof (13), hoofs (7).
