Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the proper noun Peresh, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of separation or distinction, which is inherent in the root of the name, can be related to Greek terms that convey similar meanings, though not directly linked to this proper noun.

Usage: The name Peresh appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically as a descendant of Manasseh.

Context: • Peresh is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Manasseh. He is identified as one of the sons of Machir, who was the firstborn of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. This lineage is significant as it highlights the tribal divisions and inheritances among the Israelites. The name Peresh, meaning "separated" or "distinguished," may reflect a characteristic or notable aspect of his life or role within the tribe. The mention of Peresh is found in 1 Chronicles 7:16, which states: "Machir’s wife gave birth to a son, and she named him Peresh. His brother was named Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rakem."
