Berean Strong's Lexicon Peratsim: Raiders, Bandits, Outlaws Original Word: פְּרָצִים Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַץ (parats), meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Peratsim," the concept of banditry or lawlessness can be related to Greek terms such as λῃστής (lēstēs - Strong's Greek 3027), meaning "robber" or "bandit." Usage: The term "Peratsim" refers to individuals who engage in acts of raiding or banditry. It is used to describe groups of people who live outside the law, often attacking and plundering settlements or travelers. The word conveys a sense of lawlessness and disruption, often associated with violence and chaos. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, the presence of raiders or bandits was a common threat. These groups often operated in the less controlled areas, such as the wilderness or borderlands, taking advantage of the lack of centralized authority. The instability caused by such groups could disrupt trade, agriculture, and daily life, leading to a need for fortified cities and vigilant defense measures.
