In the biblical context, it often denotes individuals or groups associated with the Persian Empire, which played a crucial role in the history of Israel, particularly during the period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Persian Empire, under leaders such as Cyrus the Great, was instrumental in the history of the Jewish people. Cyrus is noted for his decree allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The Persians were known for their administrative efficiency, tolerance of different cultures and religions, and significant contributions to art and architecture. The empire's influence extended from the Indus Valley in the east to the Aegean Sea in the west.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/6542.htm">Parsi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>inhab. of Persia<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Persian (1).<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> [<font class="hebrew2">מַּרְסַי</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Persian</b></font>; — emphatic <font class="hebrew2">פרסיא</font> Kt, <font class="hebrew2">מְּרְסָאָה</font> Qr (K<sup>§ 61, 6</sup>) <a href="/interlinear/daniel/6-29.htm">Daniel 6:29</a> <em>the Persian</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>Persian <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/6542.htm">Parciy</a> -- Persian. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6542.htm">Parciy</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>פָּרְסָאָֽה׃ פרסאה׃ pā·rə·sā·’āh pārəsā’āh paresaAh<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/daniel/6-28.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 6:28</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[פָּרְסָיָא כ] <b> (פָּרְסָאָֽה׃ </b> ק) פ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and in the reign of Cyrus <span class="itali">the Persian.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and in the reign of Cyrus <span class="itali">the Persian.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/6-28.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the reign of Cyrus <span class="itali">Persian</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6543.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6543.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6543<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/paresaah_6543.htm">pā·rə·sā·’āh — 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/6542.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6542"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6542" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6544.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6544"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6544" /></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>
