Berean Strong's Lexicon peraq: Joint, knuckle Original Word: פֶּרַק Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַק (paraq), meaning "to tear apart" or "to break off." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "peraq," related concepts can be found in Greek terms such as λύσις (lysis), meaning "release" or "liberation," and ἄρθρον (arthron), meaning "joint." Usage: The Hebrew word "peraq" refers to a joint or knuckle, particularly in the context of the human body. It is used to describe the physical connection points in the body that allow for movement and flexibility. The term is often used metaphorically to describe the breaking or loosening of bonds or burdens. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often used metaphorically to describe spiritual and communal realities. The concept of joints or connections was significant in understanding the unity and function of the body, both physically and spiritually. The breaking of joints could symbolize the removal of burdens or the liberation from oppression, reflecting the broader theme of deliverance found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
