SIBI-P1 H6499-07

the bursting bulls

Rootפרר (p-r-r)
Core Meaningsto break, split, divide, burst forth, frustrate
Semantic Rangebulls, bullocks, oxen, young bulls used for labor or sacrificial purposes
Conceptual SignificanceBulls were central in Israelite sacrificial worship, especially in sin and burnt offerings, symbolizing strength, vitality, and atonement. The association with "breaking forth" underscores both physical power and the costly value of such offerings in covenantal worship.
Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); from פַּר (par), Strong’s H6499.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פָּר (par) is likely derived from the root פרר, conveying the idea of breaking forth or dividing, reflecting the animal’s strength and vigor. The form הַפָּרִים is masculine plural absolute with the definite article, so "the bursting bulls" preserves both the plural masculine form and the root notion of forceful breaking forth.
