H6528 noun

SILEX Entry

Root פרט to separate, to scatter, to distinguish

Definition

A single berry, particularly an individual grape or small fruit that has become detached or separated from a cluster, often occurring during harvest. The term emphasizes the singularity or scattered nature of the fruit and, in context, may connote what is left behind after the main harvest.

Semantic Range

single berry, stray grape, separated small fruit, individual grape left after harvest, grape berry for gleaning, fruit for the poor

Root / Etymology

From the root פָּרַט (prṭ), meaning 'to separate, scatter, divide.' פֶּרֶט is a nominal formation meaning 'something separated,' specifically referring to a single, stray berry or grape.

Historical & Contextual Notes

פֶּרֶט is found in Levitical law (e.g., Leviticus 19:10; Deuteronomy 24:21) designating individual grapes left on the vine or fallen in the vineyard after the primary harvest, which were not to be collected by the vineyard owner but left for the poor and resident foreigner. Its usage is specific to Israelite agricultural legislation, with a focus on social provisions and community ethics. The term occurs exclusively in priestly and Deuteronomic legal contexts, and is distinct from עֹלֵלוֹת (ʻolelot), which refers to incomplete grape clusters not fully developed or harvested. While later translations may render it as 'gleanings' or 'berries,' the term specifically highlights the individual, separated fruits, and not general leftovers.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from פָּרַט; a stray or single berry; grape.
