Definition and Etymology:
The term "Per" is not directly found as a standalone word in the Bible. However, it is often used as a prefix in various biblical names and terms, such as "Perizzites" or "Perazim." In Hebrew, "Per" can imply "belonging to" or "pertaining to," often indicating a relationship or connection to a place or group.

Biblical References and Context:
1. Perizzites: The Perizzites were one of the Canaanite tribes inhabiting the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are frequently mentioned in the context of the conquest of Canaan. In Genesis 15:20-21, God promises Abram the land of various tribes, including the Perizzites: "the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites." The Perizzites are also mentioned in the context of the Israelites' battles and territorial expansions (Joshua 3:10).

2. Mount Perazim: This location is mentioned in Isaiah 28:21, where the Lord's actions are compared to His work at Mount Perazim: "For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be stirred as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task." This reference is often interpreted as a reminder of God's power and intervention in human affairs, drawing a parallel to the victory over the Philistines in 2 Samuel 5:20, where David defeats them at Baal-Perazim.

Theological Significance:
The use of "Per" in biblical names and terms often signifies a deeper connection or relationship, whether it be to a people group, a geographical location, or a divine act. The Perizzites, as part of the Canaanite tribes, represent the challenges and obstacles faced by the Israelites in claiming the Promised Land. Their presence in the biblical narrative underscores themes of faith, obedience, and divine promise.

Mount Perazim, on the other hand, serves as a symbol of God's might and His ability to deliver His people from their enemies. The reference to God's "strange work" at Mount Perazim highlights the unexpected and sometimes incomprehensible ways in which God accomplishes His purposes.

Historical and Archaeological Insights:
While specific archaeological evidence directly identifying the Perizzites is limited, they are considered part of the broader Canaanite culture, which has been extensively studied. The Canaanites were known for their advanced urban centers and complex society, which the Israelites encountered upon entering the land.

Mount Perazim's exact location is not definitively known, but it is associated with the region near Jerusalem, where David's battles against the Philistines took place. The historical context of these battles provides insight into the geopolitical dynamics of the region during the time of the united monarchy under David.

Conclusion:
The prefix "Per" in biblical terms serves as a linguistic marker of association and connection, whether to a people, place, or divine action. Its occurrences in the Bible, though not numerous, carry significant theological and historical weight, contributing to the broader narrative of God's interaction with His people and the fulfillment of His promises.(prep.)
