pe.rach denotes floral features in crafted furnishings and the flower or blossom of vegetation.

The term most often marks floral features incorporated into gold lampstand work and other crafted rims; in three verses it refers to the flower or blossom of vegetation in descriptions of growth, decay, or withering.

1. Floral ornament in crafted objects · dominant

   In Exodus 25:31, the plural construct form names features made as part of the beaten-gold lampstand, alongside its cups and capitals; the APB renders the list with “flowers.” Exodus 25:33 places a singular absolute form with a capital on each branch, while Numbers 8:4 describes the lampstand's work “from its thigh to its flower.” The same ornamental use appears in the rim described as a “lily blossom” in 1 Kings 7:26.

2. Flower or blossom of vegetation · occasional

   Isaiah 18:5 uses the singular absolute form in the sequence before harvest, when the flower is finished and an unripe grape becomes a blossom. In Isaiah 5:24, a construct form occurs in the comparison in which their blossom rises like dust, and Nahum 1:4 speaks of the flower of Lebanon weakening.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term as “flowers” in lampstand lists and as “a flower” in branch specifications; it renders the rim comparison “a lily blossom.” In vegetation passages it uses “flower” and “blossom,” but these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
