Strong's Lexicon pasa: Spread, extend, break out Original Word: פָשַׂע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pasa," the concept of spreading or breaking out can be related to Greek terms like "plēthynō" (G4129), which means to multiply or increase. Usage: The Hebrew verb "pasa" primarily means to spread or extend. It is often used in the context of something breaking out or spreading, such as a disease or a physical condition. The term can also imply an increase or expansion in a more general sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of spreading or breaking out was often associated with both positive and negative connotations. For instance, the spreading of a disease was seen as a negative occurrence, often requiring quarantine or purification rituals as outlined in the Levitical laws. Conversely, the idea of spreading could also relate to the growth and expansion of territory or influence, which was seen as a blessing from God.
