The name itself can be translated as "flea" or "a jumping creature," which may have symbolic significance or reflect a characteristic of the family.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The family of Parosh is listed among the exiles who returned to Jerusalem and Judah after the Babylonian captivity, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. This return was part of a significant period in Jewish history when the Israelites were allowed to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple under the decree of Cyrus the Great of Persia. The mention of Parosh highlights the restoration of the Jewish community and the re-establishment of their religious and cultural identity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a flea<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>flea (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">מַּרְעשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>flea</b></font> (Assyrian <i><em>puršu°û, paršu°û</em></i>;
