break-forth bulls
| Root | פרר (p-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | to break, shatter, divide, frustrate, break forth |
| Semantic Range | young bull, bullock, mature male of cattle, sacrificial bull, symbol of strength or wealth |
| Conceptual Significance | Bulls were central in Israel’s sacrificial system, especially in sin offerings and communal atonement rites, symbolizing strength, vitality, and costly devotion. Their association with powerful, "breaking-forth" strength also made them emblematic of vigor and leadership in poetic and prophetic texts. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcmpa); plural of פַּר (par), "bull." No pronominal suffix; functions as a regular masculine plural noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פַּר (par) is traditionally understood as deriving from the root פרר, conveying the idea of breaking or bursting forth in strength. Rendering it as "break-forth bulls" preserves this root imagery of powerful, forceful energy while accurately reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa) with the plural "bulls." |
