Genesis 38:29
Verse 29. How hast thou broken forth?] mah paratsta, this breach be upon thee, aleycka parets; thou shalt bear the name of the breach thou hast made, i. e., in coming first into the world. Therefore his name was called Parets, i. e., the person who made the breach. The breach here mentioned refers to a certain circumstance in parturition which it is unnecessary to explain.
