SIBI-P1 H6571-04
mounted cavalrymen
| Root | פרש (p-r-š) |
| Core Meanings | to spread out, extend, separate, deploy |
| Semantic Range | horsemen, cavalry, mounted warriors, chariot drivers (by implication), military riders as a class |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, פָּרָשִׁים often represent organized military strength, especially in royal or imperial armies (e.g., Egypt, Assyria, Israel’s monarchy). Their presence signifies advanced warfare capability and, theologically, can symbolize reliance on military might in contrast to reliance on YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from פָּרָשׁ (H6571). Refers collectively to mounted warriors or horsemen; no pronominal suffix; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פָּרָשׁ derives from the root פרשׁ, "to spread out" or "extend," likely reflecting the idea of warriors stretched out or deployed on steeds in battle formation. "Mounted cavalrymen" preserves the masculine plural form (HNcmpa) while reflecting both the equestrian and military sense inherent in the term. |
