SIBI-P1 H6556-04
breach
| Root | פרץ (p-r-ts) |
| Core Meanings | to break through, burst out, breach, make a gap, break forth suddenly |
| Semantic Range | breach in a wall, gap, rupture, outbreak, sudden bursting forth (of people, judgment, or blessing), symbolic name denoting breakthrough |
| Conceptual Significance | פֶּרֶץ often conveys the idea of sudden divine action—either judgment breaking out or blessing breaking forth. As the name Perez, it commemorates a dramatic "breaking out" at birth (Genesis 38:29) and becomes associated with the Davidic lineage, symbolizing unexpected divine advancement through apparent disorder. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in absolute (cmsa) and construct (cmsc) forms, and also as a proper noun (HNp). No pronominal suffixes in the listed forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּרֶץ is a masculine singular form derived from the root פרץ, "to break through" or "burst out." Rendering it as "breach" preserves the concrete image of a breaking-through or gap made by force, reflecting both the root meaning and its masculine singular morphology (absolute or construct). When used as a proper name (Perez), it retains this sense of "breaking forth." |
