Parnach in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

Parnach, pär'-nach (Heb. or Chald.)-- swift; agile; nimble; (or) to live delicately; to delight oneself; to weaken with tenderness. The foregoing definitions of this name are drawn from two entirely different sources. Father of Elizaphan, a prince of the tribe of Zebulun who was chosen to help divide the land of Canaan amongst the Israelites (Num. 34:25). Meta. A thought belonging to the order faculty in individual consciousness (Zebulun symbolizes the faculty of order) that is alert and active (swift, agile, nimble). If the other definitions of arnach are considered, then the reference is to a thought tendency that is very loving and refined but needs to become established in strong, positive unselfishness, that the seeming weakness may be overcome.
