Berean Strong's Lexicon parar: To break, frustrate, annul, make void Original Word: פָּרַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G208 (akatargeo): To render idle, unemployed, inactivate, inoperative - G3089 (luo): To loosen, break, destroy Usage: The Hebrew verb "parar" primarily conveys the idea of breaking or nullifying something. It is often used in the context of breaking covenants, agreements, or plans. The term can imply a sense of frustration or thwarting, where intended purposes or promises are rendered ineffective or void. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, covenants and agreements were foundational to societal and relational structures. The act of breaking a covenant was considered a serious offense, often leading to social and divine repercussions. The use of "parar" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the gravity of such actions, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and the consequences of unfaithfulness.
