SIBI-P1 H6571-01

the chariot-steeds

Rootפרש (p-r-sh)
Core Meaningsto spread out, stretch out, separate, make distinct
Semantic Rangechariot horse, war-horse, horseman, cavalry (collective), mounted warrior
Conceptual SignificanceThe term evokes organized military power in ancient Israel and the surrounding nations, especially chariot forces and cavalry. In biblical theology, reliance on "horses" and chariots often symbolizes trust in human military strength rather than in יהוה.
Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); from פָּרָשׁ (H6571).
Rendering RationaleThe noun פָּרָשׁ derives from the root פרשׁ, conveying the idea of something stretched out or spread. In this nominal form it refers to a horse harnessed and stretched out for chariot service, and by extension to horsemen or cavalry. The form is masculine plural absolute with the definite article ("the"), so the rendering preserves the definite and masculine plural sense: "the chariot-steeds."
