SIBI-P1 H6499-02

with a breaking-forth bull

Rootפרר (p-r-r)
Core Meaningsto break, divide, shatter, frustrate; to burst forth
Semantic Rangebull, bullock, young bull, calf, ox; especially a strong male bovine used in labor or sacrifice
Conceptual SignificanceThe bull in the Hebrew Bible often symbolizes strength, vitality, and wealth, and is central in sacrificial worship. As a sacrificial animal, it represents costly offering and atonement, embodying both physical power and covenantal devotion.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular absolute noun (Ncmsa) פַּר with prefixed preposition בְּ (“with/in”). No pronominal suffix; singular masculine form preserved.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פַּר (par) derives from the root פרר, conveying the idea of breaking or bursting forth in strength. Rendering it as "breaking-forth bull" preserves this root imagery of powerful, forceful vitality, while the prefixed preposition בְּ and the masculine singular absolute form are reflected in "with a" followed by a singular masculine noun.
