In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to individuals or groups associated with the Persian Empire, which played a significant 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 known for its vast expanse and influence across the ancient Near East. The Persians are noted in the Bible for their role in allowing the Jewish exiles to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The Persian period is marked by a relatively tolerant approach to the diverse cultures and religions within its domain, which is reflected in the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6539.htm">Paras</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">מַּרְסִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Persian</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הַמּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-22.htm">Nehemiah 12:22</a>. <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>Patrial from <a href="/hebrew/6539.htm">Parac</a>; a Parsite (i.e. Persian), or inhabitant of Peres -- Persian. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6539.htm">Parac</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הַפָּֽרְסִֽי׃ הפרסי׃ hap·pā·rə·sî hapPareSi happārəsî<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/nehemiah/12-22.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Nehemiah 12:22</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מַלְכ֖וּת דָּרְיָ֥וֶשׁ <b> הַפָּֽרְסִֽי׃ </b> פ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/nehemiah/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> in the reign of Darius <span class="itali">the Persian.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/nehemiah/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to the reign of Darius <span class="itali">the Persian.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-22.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the reign of Darius <span class="itali">the Persian</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6542.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6542.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6542<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/happaresi_6542.htm">hap·pā·rə·sî — 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/6541.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6541"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6541" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6543.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6543"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6543" /></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>
