Strong's Lexicon zerua: Sown, planted Original Word: זִרִוּעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַע (zara), meaning "to sow" or "to scatter seed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the New Testament is σπείρω (speirō), Strong's Greek 4687, which also means "to sow." Usage: The term "zerua" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that has been sown or planted. It often refers to fields or land that have been cultivated with seed. The concept of sowing is frequently used metaphorically in Scripture to convey ideas of preparation, investment, and the expectation of future growth or harvest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The act of sowing seed was a critical step in the agricultural cycle, symbolizing hope and reliance on God's provision for a successful harvest. The Israelites were deeply connected to the land, and the imagery of sowing and reaping was commonly used in both literal and metaphorical contexts throughout the Bible.
