Paras (Persia)
| Root | פרס (p-r-s) |
| Core Meanings | proper name of a nation and people, Persia, Persian realm |
| Semantic Range | The Persian Empire; the land of Persia; the Persian people collectively. |
| Conceptual Significance | Paras represents the great eastern empire that succeeded Babylon and under whose rule exiled Israelites were permitted to return and rebuild. It marks a major geopolitical shift in biblical history and the setting for books such as Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel, and Esther. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp); used of the land and by extension its people (the Persians). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper noun (masculine singular) referring to the nation and empire known as Persia. Retaining the transliterated name "Paras" preserves the Hebrew designation while identifying it historically as Persia, reflecting its singular proper noun morphology. |
