Genesis 38:29

How hast thou broken forth? - mah paratsta , this breach be upon thee, aleycka parets ; thou shalt bear the name of the breach thou hast made, i. e., in coming first into the world. Therefore his name was called Parets , i. e., the person who made the breach. The breach here mentioned refers to a certain circumstance in parturition which it is unnecessary to explain.
