the break-forth bull
| Root | פרר (p-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | to break, shatter, divide, frustrate, burst forth |
| Semantic Range | bull, young bull, bullock, ox—especially a male bovine used in agriculture or sacrificial contexts |
| Conceptual Significance | The bull was a central sacrificial animal in Israel’s worship, symbolizing strength, vitality, and costly devotion. Its association with breaking force or vigorous power aligns with its role as a prominent offering in covenantal and atoning rituals. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). The form הַפָּר means "the bull." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פַּר (par) is understood as deriving from the root פרר, conveying the idea of breaking or bursting forth in strength. Rendering it as "the break-forth bull" preserves this root sense while reflecting the definite article (הַ) and the masculine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa). |
