Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of harvest is קָצִיר (qatsir), Strong's Hebrew #7105, which also denotes the act of reaping or the season of harvest.

Usage: The term "therismos" primarily refers to the act of harvesting or the season of gathering crops. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the gathering of people into the kingdom of God, emphasizing the readiness and urgency of spiritual harvest.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, the harvest was a critical time of year, marking the culmination of months of labor and the provision of sustenance for the community. The concept of harvest was deeply embedded in Jewish culture, with several festivals, such as the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), celebrating the gathering of crops. In the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles used the imagery of harvest to communicate spiritual truths about the kingdom of God, drawing on the familiar agricultural practices of the time.
