- παρά pará · G3844 · at, by, alongside
- Both אֵצֶל (ʼêtsel, H681) and παρά (pará, G3844) function as prepositions denoting spatial proximity and directional relations with respect to a reference point. The Hebrew term expresses "beside, near, at" with locative and directional senses, while the Greek preposition conveys "near, from beside, at the vicinity of" across the genitive, dative and accusative cases, encoding both static location and movement from or toward a nearby place. They correspond in translation contexts where proximity to a reference object or person is in view.
