Strong's Lexicon parosh: Parosh Original Word: פָּרוֹשׁ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: parosh Pronunciation: pah-ROSH Phonetic Spelling: (par-oshe') Definition: Parosh Meaning: a flea Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּרַשׁ (parash), meaning "to separate" or "to declare." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name "Parosh" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew family name. Usage: The term "Parosh" is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile. The name itself can be translated as "flea" or "a jumping creature," which may have symbolic significance or reflect a characteristic of the family. Cultural and Historical Background: The family of Parosh is listed among the exiles who returned to Jerusalem and Judah after the Babylonian captivity, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. This return was part of a significant period in Jewish history when the Israelites were allowed to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple under the decree of Cyrus the Great of Persia. The mention of Parosh highlights the restoration of the Jewish community and the re-establishment of their religious and cultural identity.
