H6529 noun

SILEX Entry

Root פרה to bear fruit, to be fruitful

Definition

Fruit; the product or yield of plants, especially trees and vines, signifying literal fruit such as apples, grapes, or figs. By figurative extension, can refer to offspring, progeny, harvest, or the outcomes or results of actions (e.g., the 'fruit of the womb' or 'fruit of one's deeds').

Semantic Range

fruit (of tree or plant), produce, offspring, progeny, results, outcomes, harvest, reward or consequence (figurative), literal fruit, yield

Root / Etymology

From the root פָּרָה (para), meaning 'to bear fruit' or 'to be fruitful.' פְּרִי (pᵉrîy) is a concrete noun formation indicating the product or result of fruitfulness or bearing fruit.

Historical & Contextual Notes

פְּרִי appears throughout the Hebrew Bible to denote literal fruit, a key concept in agricultural and ritual contexts (e.g., firstfruits offered in Deuteronomy, blessings of land in Genesis and Deuteronomy). By the monarchic and exilic periods, it expands figuratively: 'fruit' often represents descendants or the outcomes of a person's life. In wisdom literature, 'fruit' can symbolize consequences (positive or negative) of behavior. Notably, while some translations render this as 'reward,' this is meaningful only in contexts where outcomes or results are intended. Distinct from terms such as תְּבוּאָה (tevu'ah, 'yield, produce') which usually emphasize crops or agricultural abundance more generally, פְּרִי directly evokes fruit, often from trees. In later periods, 'fruit' also gathered symbolic meaning about the continuity of a people, blessings, or divine favor. English translations as 'fruit' usually capture the basic sense, but the figurative uses—offspring, deeds, or reward—require contextual sensitivity.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from פָּרָה; fruit (literally or figuratively); bough, (first-)fruit(-ful), reward.
