Perez (son of Judah and Tamar); also place names involving 'breach' or 'breaking through'
Primarily the name of Judah's son by Tamar, whose birth involved 'breaking through' ahead of his twin Zerah (Genesis 38:29). The name became important in Judah's genealogy, appearing frequently in Chronicles, Ruth, and Nehemiah. It also designates two locations: Perez-uzzah ('breach of Uzzah') near Jerusalem where God struck Uzzah for touching the ark (2 Sam 6:8; 1 Chr 13:11), and possibly Mount Perazim (Isa 28:21). The name evokes breaking forth, bursting through, or making a breach.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The four references here all point to the place name Perez-uzzah (also called Perez Uzza), where Uzzah died touching the ark. Second Samuel 6:8 and its parallel in 1 Chronicles 13:11 (each mentioning it twice) commemorate this 'breach against Uzzah.' The multilingual glosses preserve the proper name Perez/Perets with the associated term Uzzah/Uzza, showing this is a composite geographic name marking a specific incident. 4×
