It signifies the act of explaining or making known the meaning of something that is otherwise obscure or hidden. In the Hebrew Bible, this term is closely associated with the divine gift of understanding mysteries, particularly those revealed through dreams.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams were often considered messages from the divine realm. The ability to interpret these dreams was highly valued and often associated with wisdom and divine favor. In the biblical narrative, figures like Joseph and Daniel are renowned for their God-given ability to interpret dreams, which played a crucial role in their rise to prominence and influence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/6362.htm">patar</a>.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>free <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6362.htm">patar</a>; open, i.e. Unoccupied -- free. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6362.htm">patar</a> <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/hebrew/fechar_6353.htm">p̄e·ḥār — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/fachat_6354.htm">p̄ā·ḥaṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/happachat_6354.htm">hap·pa·ḥaṯ — 5 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/happechatim_6354.htm">hap·pə·ḥā·ṯîm — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vafachat_6354.htm">wā·p̄a·ḥaṯ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/moav_6355.htm">mō·w·’āḇ — 6 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/pechetet_6356.htm">pə·ḥe·ṯeṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/pitdah_6357.htm">piṭ·ḏāh — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/pitdat_6357.htm">piṭ·ḏaṯ- — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/peturim_6358.htm">pə·ṭū·rîm — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/pattish_6360.htm">paṭ·ṭîš — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uchefattish_6360.htm">ū·ḵə·p̄aṭ·ṭîš — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/pattesheihon_6361.htm">paṭ·ṭə·šê·hō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/fatar_6362.htm">p̄ā·ṭar — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/poter_6362.htm">pō·w·ṭêr — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vaiyiftar_6362.htm">way·yip̄·ṭar — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yaftiru_6362.htm">yap̄·ṭî·rū — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/peter_6363.htm">pe·ṭer — 10 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/pitrat_6363.htm">piṭ·raṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/ufeter_6363.htm">ū·p̄e·ṭer — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6358.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6358"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6358" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6360.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6360"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6360" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
