SIBI-P1 H6499-10

to a burst-strong bull

Rootפרר (p-r-r)
Core Meaningsto break, to burst forth, to divide, to frustrate
Semantic Rangeyoung bull, bullock, ox, sacrificial bull; an animal noted for strength and vitality
Conceptual SignificanceThe bull was a central sacrificial animal in Israel’s worship, especially in sin and purification offerings, symbolizing strength, vitality, and atonement. Its association with force and potency reflects the underlying root idea of bursting strength, while its sacrificial role conveys themes of substitution and covenantal restoration.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to a masculine singular noun in construct form (Ncmsc). The noun פַּר is grammatically masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פַּר (par) derives from the root פרר, conveying the sense of breaking or bursting forth, likely reflecting the animal’s vigorous, forceful strength. The form לְפַר consists of the preposition לְ (“to/for”) attached to a masculine singular noun, which is preserved in the singular rendering “a … bull.” The phrase thus faithfully reflects both the root imagery and the masculine singular morphology.
