H6289 noun

SILEX Entry

Root פאַר to beautify, adorn, shine

Definition

A vessel or pot, particularly one used for cooking; the focus is on a kind of container, often for boiling or preparing food. In context, it can sometimes indicate a container linked with distress or affliction, given how it appears in poetic or metaphorical language.

Semantic Range

pot, cooking vessel, container for boiling; (in later usage) any vessel or pot

Root / Etymology

From the root פָּאַר (p-ʼ-r), which in its base meaning relates to shining, beautifying, or glorifying. פָּארוּר is a noun form, and in later Hebrew parallels it denotes a vessel or pot, likely connected through the sense of a polished or shining container (possibly from its appearance when new).

Historical & Contextual Notes

פָּארוּר occurs infrequently in the Hebrew Bible, notably in Numbers 11:8, where it describes a type of cooking pot in which manna was boiled by the Israelites in the wilderness. In later Hebrew (Mishnaic and post-biblical), the term also refers to a vessel or pot, confirming the sense attested in biblical usage. The Strong's gloss linking פָּארוּר to 'glow' or 'flush (of anxiety)' appears to conflate the root meaning of 'shine/beautify' with later semantic drift, but in biblical usage, the term almost entirely refers to a material vessel, not an abstract state or emotion. There are other Hebrew terms for pot or cooking vessel (such as סִיר, דּוּד), but פָּארוּר specifically is used in poetic or narrative settings often to evoke the mundane aspect of daily sustenance. English translations as 'pot' or 'boiling pot' capture the concrete meaning but lack the nuance of the term's poetic or metaphorical potential. The translation tradition does not reflect an association with blackness or anxiety directly—the context in the biblical narrative is focused on the vessel itself.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from פָּאַר; properly, illuminated, i.e. a glow; as noun, a flush (of anxiety); blackness.
