This is an Aramaic imperative form meaning 'break off!' or 'tear away!', from the root cognate to Hebrew פָּרַק (to tear off, break apart). It appears in Daniel 4:27 in Daniel's counsel to Nebuchadnezzar after interpreting his troubling dream. Daniel urges the king: 'Break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed.' The verb carries the sense of violently separating oneself from something, tearing away from evil. Here it introduces Daniel's moral exhortation—perhaps the dream's terrible fulfillment could be averted if the king would fundamentally change his ways. The term emphasizes decisive moral rupture, not gradual reform.
