4927. 'And he called his name Perez' means the essential nature of it, that is to say, of the apparent separation of that truth from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421, the actual nature being meant by 'Perez', for in the original language 'Perez' describes a breach.
