Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּרַח (parach), meaning "to bud" or "to sprout." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G438 (ἄνθος • anthos): This Greek term means "flower" or "blossom" and is used in the New Testament to convey similar imagery of beauty and transience, as seen in James 1:10-11, where the rich man is compared to a flower that withers. • G2918 (κλάδος • klados): While primarily meaning "branch" or "twig," this term can also relate to the idea of budding or flowering, as branches are often associated with growth and the potential for blooming. In summary, פֶרַח (Perach) is a term rich with imagery and symbolism, reflecting the beauty and intricacy of creation as seen in the natural world and sacred spaces. Its use in the Hebrew Bible underscores themes of divine craftsmanship and the transient nature of life, while its Greek counterparts continue these themes in the New Testament.
