Berean Strong's Lexicon
Peresh: Dung, excrement, refuse

Original Word: פֶּרֶשׁ
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Peresh
Pronunciation: PEH-resh
Phonetic Spelling: (peh'-resh)
Definition: Dung, excrement, refuse
Meaning: Peresh

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּרַשׁ (parash), meaning "to separate" or "to scatter."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Peresh," the concept of impurity and waste can be related to Greek terms such as σκύβαλον (skubalon), meaning refuse or rubbish, as seen in Philippians 3:8.

Usage: The Hebrew word "Peresh" is used in the Old Testament to refer to dung or excrement. It is often associated with waste material that is considered unclean or to be discarded. The term is used both literally, in the context of physical waste, and metaphorically, to describe something that is rejected or deemed worthless.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness and purity were of utmost importance, especially in religious practices. The presence of dung or excrement was considered a source of impurity, and strict laws were in place to ensure that such waste was disposed of properly. This reflects the broader cultural emphasis on maintaining holiness and separation from anything that could defile.
