the fruit-bearing heifer

Rootפרה (p-r-h)
Core Meaningsfruitfulness, bearing, increase, fertility
Semantic Rangeheifer, young cow, cattle (female), especially one suitable for breeding or sacrifice
Conceptual SignificanceIn Israelite culture the heifer symbolized fertility, agricultural prosperity, and economic wealth. Notably, the "red heifer" ritual (Numbers 19) gives the term enduring theological significance in matters of purification and covenantal holiness.
Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the root פרה and functioning as the feminine counterpart to פַּר (bull).
Rendering RationaleThe noun פָּרָה is a feminine singular form with the definite article ("the"), referring to a young cow. It is etymologically linked to the root פרה ("to be fruitful, to bear"), so "fruit-bearing heifer" preserves the agricultural and reproductive sense embedded in the root while reflecting the definite, feminine singular morphology.
