breach
| Root | פרץ (p-r-ts) |
| Core Meanings | break through, burst forth, breach, outbreak, sudden eruption, increase by breaking out |
| Semantic Range | physical breach in a wall, sudden outbreak, violent bursting forth, breakthrough, gap, or a divinely caused eruption; also used as a personal or place name signifying such an event |
| Conceptual Significance | The term often marks decisive divine intervention—either judgment (as in the "breach-of Uzza") or breakthrough and increase (as in the naming of Perez in Genesis 38:29). It conveys the imagery of sudden, forceful action that alters the course of events, whether in destruction, expansion, or covenantal history. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested); also used as a proper name. In construct it links to a following noun (e.g., "breach-of Uzza"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּרֶץ is a masculine singular noun in the absolute or construct state ("breach" or "breach-of"). Rendering it as "breach" preserves the concrete sense of a breaking-through or bursting-out inherent in the root פרץ, while accurately reflecting its masculine singular form; in construct (e.g., פֶּרֶץ עֻזָּא), it is properly understood as "breach-of." |
