Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "peshar" is διερμηνεύω (diermēneuō), Strong's Greek 1329, which also means "to interpret" or "to explain."
Usage: The term "peshar" refers to the act of interpreting or explaining, particularly in the context of dreams, visions, or enigmatic messages. It is often associated with the divine gift of understanding mysteries that are beyond human comprehension.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the interpretation of dreams and visions was a significant practice, often associated with divine revelation. Interpreters, like Daniel in the Hebrew Bible, were considered wise and were often sought after by kings and rulers for their ability to reveal hidden meanings. The concept of "peshar" is also prominent in the Dead Sea Scrolls, where it refers to the interpretation of prophetic texts.
