Genesis 40:10 כְפֹרַ֙חַת֙ when [it was] budding

and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.

Exodus 9:9 פֹּרֵ֛חַ breaking out

It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

Exodus 9:10 פֹּרֵ֕חַ breaking out

So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.

Leviticus 13:12 פָּר֨וֹחַ תִּפְרַ֤ח certainly <to break out>, it will break out

But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,

Leviticus 13:20 פָּרָֽחָה׃ it has broken out

The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.

Leviticus 13:25 פָּרָ֑חָה it has broken out

the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.

Leviticus 13:39 פָּרַ֥ח it has broken out

the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

Leviticus 13:42 פֹּרַ֙חַת֙ [which is] breaking out

But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.

Leviticus 13:57 פֹּרַ֖חַת [is] breaking out

But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.

Leviticus 14:43 וּפָרַ֣ח and it will break out

If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and replastered,

Numbers 17:5 יִפְרָ֑ח it will bud

The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”

Here: To break out into new growth. A dry, cut stick coming alive is something only God could do, so it shows beyond argument whom God has chosen. In 17:8 the sign goes further than promised: buds, blossoms and ripe almonds.

Numbers 17:8 פָּרַ֥ח it had budded

The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.

Here: 'Had sprouted.' This is the exact verb God used for the test in v. 5: 'the staff of the man I choose will sprout' (yifrach). The narrator uses the same word to show the sign came true.

Job 14:9 יַפְרִ֑חַ it will show buds

at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.

Psalm 72:7 יִֽפְרַח־ he will flourish

May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound until the moon is no more.

Here: "May he/it sprout, burst into bloom." This is plant language, and it carries on the rain-on-grass picture of verse 6: under this king the right kind of people come up like new growth after rain. In context it is a wish or prayer ("may"), not a bare prediction.

Psalm 92:7 בִּפְרֹ֤חַ when flourish

that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

Here: "In the sprouting of" means "when (they) sprout." The verb is about sudden, visible new growth, like buds bursting open. The same verb comes back in vv. 12–13 for the righteous, which sets up a deliberate contrast between two kinds of flourishing.

Psalm 92:12 יִפְרָ֑ח he will flourish

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Here: 'He will sprout/flourish.' This is the same verb used of the wicked in verse 7 ('the wicked sprout like grass'). The psalm sets the two kinds of sprouting side by side: grass that springs up and is gone, and a palm whose growth lasts. The verb form can describe the future ('will flourish') or a standing truth ('flourishes').

Psalm 92:13 יַפְרִֽיחוּ׃ they will flourish

Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

Here: A botanical verb for putting out buds and breaking into bloom. Here it is in the causative form ('they will put forth blossom'), which builds on the simpler 'will flourish' of verse 12. It also deliberately repeats verse 7, where the wicked 'sprout' like grass only to be destroyed.

Proverbs 11:28 יִפְרָֽחוּ׃ they will bud

He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like foliage.

Here: To burst out, bud, come into leaf or bloom. It is the word for spring growth breaking out of a branch, so it pictures new and renewed life, not only lasting.

Proverbs 14:11 יַפְרִֽיחַ׃ it will flourish

The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

Here: "Will sprout, will put out buds." This is a plant word applied to a tent. The household grows and puts out new shoots (descendants, wealth, life) the way a living plant does. It is the opposite of being wiped out.

Song of Songs 6:11 הֲפָֽרְחָ֣ה ¿ had it budded

I went down to the walnut grove to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines were budding or the pomegranates were in bloom.

Song of Songs 7:12 פָּֽרְחָ֤ה it has budded

Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vine has budded, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom—there I will give you my love.

Here: "Has budded / broken into flower." The tense looks at a finished change: has the vine reached the point of flowering yet?

Isaiah 17:11 תַּפְרִ֑יחִי you cause to sprout

though on the day you plant you make them grow, and on that morning you help your seed sprout—yet the harvest will vanish on the day of disease and incurable pain.

Isaiah 27:6 וּפָרַ֖ח and it will bud

In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.

Here: To break out in buds or shoots, and so to flourish. The same two verbs appear together for Aaron's staff, which 'sprouted, blossomed and bore almonds' overnight (Numbers 17:8), and in the promise that the desert will 'blossom' (Isaiah 35:1–2).

Isaiah 35:1 וְתִפְרַ֖ח so it may bud

The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.

Here: 'And it will burst into bloom.' The verb describes buds breaking open and flowers appearing. Verse 2 strengthens it by doubling the verb: parocha tifrach, 'blossoming it will blossom', meaning it will bloom abundantly.

Isaiah 35:2 פָּרֹ֨חַ תִּפְרַ֜ח completely <to bud>, it will bud

It will bloom profusely and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

Here: An infinitive (the bare verb idea, 'sprouting') placed before the finite verb from the same root. This Hebrew doubling makes the statement emphatic: the desert will truly, abundantly burst into growth.

Isaiah 66:14 תִפְרַ֑חְנָה they will sprout

When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

Here: "They will sprout." The plural feminine verb agrees with "bones." Isaiah uses the same verb for the desert blooming (35:1–2) and Israel budding (27:6). Bones sprouting is a striking mixed picture: what was dry and dead turns green.

Ezekiel 7:10 פָּרַ֖ח it has budded

Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed.

Here: "Has sprouted" or "has broken out." It pairs with the previous plant verb, and the verb can also describe a skin disease breaking out, though the plant sense governs here.

Ezekiel 13:20 לְפֹ֣רְח֔וֹת לְפֹרְחֹֽת׃ for birds

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.

Ezekiel 17:24 וְהִפְרַ֖חְתִּי and I make sprout

Then all the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD. I bring the tall tree down and make the low tree tall. I dry up the green tree and make the withered tree flourish. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done it.’”

Here: "And I made blossom." Making something bud and flower. It is the verb used when Aaron's dead staff budded (Num 17:8), so it pictures life breaking out of what looked dead.

Hosea 10:4 וּפָרַ֤ח and it sprouts up

They speak mere words; with false oaths they make covenants. So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.

Hosea 14:5 יִפְרַ֖ח it will blossom

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

Here: To burst into bud or flower. The picture is sudden, visible, colourful new life. It is more than the KJV's 'grow'.

Hosea 14:7 וְיִפְרְח֣וּ so they may blossom

They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

Habakkuk 3:17 תִפְרָ֗ח it buds

Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,

Here: 'Will not sprout / bud.' The word covers new shoots, leaves and fruit-buds breaking out. Here the tree does not even begin a season, let alone produce one. This verb is in the 'unfinished action' form (usually future or ongoing), while most of the verbs after it are in the completed form.
