Difference between revisions of "Park"

<p> ''''' park ''''' ( פּרדּס , <i> ''''' pardēṣ ''''' </i> ; [[Septuagint]] παράδεισος , <i> ''''' parádeisos ''''' </i> ; compare Arabic <i> ''''' firdaus ''''' </i> ): "I made me gardens and parks," the King James Version "orchards" (&nbsp; Ecclesiastes 2:5 ); "Asaph the keeper of the king's forest," the Revised Version margin "park" (&nbsp;Nehemiah 2:8 ). The same word occurs in &nbsp;Song of [[Solomon]] 4:13 , "Thy shoots are an orchard (the Revised Version margin "paradise") of pomegranates." according to Liddell and Scott, <i> ''''' paradeisos ''''' </i> occurs first in Xenophon, who always uses it of the parks of [[Persian]] kings and noblemen. Like many other quadriliterals the word is undoubtedly of eastern origin. It seems to connote an enclosure. It is used in Septuagint of the [[Garden]] of Eden. Compare &nbsp;Luke 23:43; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 12:4; &nbsp;Revelation 2:7 . See Paradise . </p>
