It is often used in the context of physical fruitfulness, such as the bearing of children or the production of crops. It can also be used metaphorically to describe prosperity, growth, or the flourishing of a person or nation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, fruitfulness was a sign of God's blessing and favor. The agrarian society of the Israelites placed a high value on fertility, both in terms of human offspring and agricultural produce. Being fruitful was often associated with obedience to God's commandments and was seen as a fulfillment of God's promises, such as those given to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/6509.htm">parah</a>, q.v.<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">פרא</font> see <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hiph`il</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יַפְרִיא</font> below <font class="hebrew2">פרה</font>. <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">פרא</font> (√ of foll.; Jen<sup>Cosmol. 110</sup> compare Talmud <font class="hebrew2">פרא</font> <em>run</em>; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb082506.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb082507.gif"> <em>wild ass</em>, Hom<sup>NS 123</sup>; Assyrian <i><em>parû</em></i>, <em>mule</em> (<em>wild ass is purîmu</em>)). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>be fruitful <p>A primitive root; to bear fruit -- be fruitful. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יַפְרִ֑יא יפריא yafRi yap̄·rî yap̄rî<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><b><a href="/text/hosea/13-15.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Hosea 13:15</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בֵּ֥ן אַחִ֖ים <b> יַפְרִ֑יא </b> יָב֣וֹא קָדִים֩</span><br><a href="/kjvs/hosea/13.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">Though he be fruitful</span> among [his] brethren,<br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/13-15.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> among among brethren <span class="itali">he be fruitful</span> will come an east<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6500.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6500.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6500<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yafri_6500.htm">yap̄·rî — 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/6499.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6499"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6499" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6501.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6501"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6501" /></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>
