This term is used to describe a forceful or assertive movement, often with a connotation of aggression or urgency. In the context of biblical narratives, it can depict a character or group moving with purpose or intent, often in a confrontational or decisive manner. The usage of פָשַׂע is relatively rare in the Hebrew Scriptures, which suggests that when it is employed, it carries a significant weight or emphasis in the narrative.
