Pronounced “puh-ree”... short, quick, “puh” on the 1st syllable, with the emphasis on the second syllable, “ree.”
The 4th time GOD used the word fruit in scripture, this is what He said, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28
The Hebrew word for “fruitful” in this verse is “pah-rah”, which is the root word of puh-ree (fruit).
The Hebrew Language is built upon a root word system. This means that you always want to take a look at the root word in Hebrew because their meaning carries weight in every word that emerges from them.
So, let’s look at the root word for fruit...
Let’s look at each letter in pah-rah closely….
The first letter in pah-rah is the Hebrew Letter pei, which of course equates to our letter P.
The letter pei represents our power of speech; the power to create with our words. Anything that you have ever set a goal for in your life, began with the words you spoke… pei is your spoken word!
Just as GOD created the world with His spoken Word, so do you! What have you called forth with your words?
The words you speak into the atmosphere contain the elements of life or death. Example, our prayer impart spiritual strength to ourselves and others. Our words, if negative, hateful, or wicked, impart death or destruction. We either build up or tear down with our words.
When GOD created a word to represent the essence of fruit, He began with the letter pei, because it all begins with what we say.
Fruit is not just something that grows from a seed and that we eat and consume with our mouth. Fruit is a product of the seeds that we produce with our words. Words that we speak and words that we consume with our mouths.
And there’s more…
The pei being components of the kaf (an open hand in order to take or receive something, to cover, allow, anoint) and the yod (the right hand to give something, humility, work, hand, a divine point of energy) means that if we were using our pet (mouth) correctly… in its GOD given purpose, we would open our mouths to speak and pull down the Glory of GOD!
The kaf takes, the yod gives. The symbolism of kaf and yod together (which form the letter pei) is a picture of, taking in order to give.
Being blessed to be a blessing implies giving as you receive. There’s a connection here. When the kaf is open to receive the anointing, then the kaf (which is a component of the pei), can pour and speak virtue into the world.
We could use the power of speech, our very voices, to connect Heaven to Earth. If we wanted to.
Our words could be dedicated to the purpose of lifting up, edifying and building up the Body of Christ and the world.
The pei in fruit, is teaching us that the ability to bear fruit begins with what we open our mouth to say!
The 2nd letter in pah-rah is the reish... Our English letter- R
So, let’s sum up pei as Divine Speech, using your voice for good!
Which is connected to the reish, a person walking in their rightful place of Headship, Kingship, Servanthood/Leadership.
Reish/Rosh means Head. The one that has journeyed through the levels of spiritual maturity and arrived to their place and position of Headship/Leadership, Kingship!
The Rosh knows who they are in the Kingdom of Heaven – here on Earth. They call those things that be not as though they are. They live in the “Already Been Done” space in time. They see the giants in the land and are undeterred. After all, they are nothing but giants.
The Rosh decrees and declares a thing and expects signs following. They understand dominion, power and authority in Jesus Name.
Can you see why the Word “fruit” in Hebrew has to be spelled with the letter rosh?
We now have a picture of a mouth that speaks with authority, in the position of Kingship, as an Ambassador of Christ, or a Child of GOD.
And what does the Rosh Speak of?
Let’s Look…
The 3rd letter in pah-rah is the hei... Our English letter- H
What comes out of the voice of the Reish?
A letter hei.
GOD does not get us in a headlock. We can chose Him or not. It’s a choice. The hei represents and paints a picture of freedom to come in or go out. Hei is our window to the Torah.
Hei provides access to hide and abide. Or, we can look in and leave if we want to. We can choose revelation and light, or not. We can look into the window and choose to abide in the Word or we can abide in the world. It’s a choice.
The word for fruit in Hebrew ends with a choice.
In the last post, HOW GOD SPELLS FIRE, I taught you that when the letter hei appears at the end of a word it means, “What comes out of.”
But, it can also be understood as a directional indicator.
Now the word picture of pah-rah expands… we now have a picture of a mouth that speaks with authority, Kingship; As an Ambassador of Christ, a Child of GOD who leads through their words, their speech, their voice to those things that are above and not beneath.
The Reish points you to revelation, insight… they point you to the Word of GOD.
Pah-rah is a voice that leads you to the dalet—the door so that you can behold the yod—the world to come.
The Voice of the Reish brings you to the Word, the Light of GOD.
Now, here’s what I like about fruit…
GOD said, “Bring forth fruit”…
GOD’s Word contains so much prophetic content… there is so much meaning embedded in the words and the letters themselves that increase the light on the message they are assembled to convey!
The Strong’s definitions can only take us so far… we have to look beyond. We need the spiritual definition of words not just the literal. The literal can only take us so far.
The letters – al by themselves- communicate rich spiritual content.
The letters connect the dots…
The ENTIRE Book of Scripture is Spiritual and Every Letter of the Torah has the Power to Create!
What will you create today?
THE NEXT TIME YOU COME ACROSS A PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IN WHCH GOD IS SPEAKING OF YOU AND YOUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT…
REMEMBER: It’s the voice of the rosh that connects to Heaven and bears much fruit!
And your fruit shall remain.
AMEN.
P.S.
Because the Word of GOD is so meticulous and precise, you will find that GOD has many words for fruit… for instance, if speaking of a form of, edible produce, you can use the word tenubah (Strong’s 8570). In fact, there’s over 12 different words in Hebrew used in the context of ‘fruit’.
What I want you to learn from this is that pah-rah is completely different than tenubah.
Pah-rah is spiritual fruit. We can use our voices for good or for evil. The decision is ours. We can use our voices to pull down spiritual fruit and bless others, or we can use our voices for evil and unrighteousness.
What kind of fruit, will you produce?
