Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַשׁ (charash), which means "to cut in" or "to engrave."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1407 (δρέπανον, drepanon), which refers to a sickle or pruning hook. While not a direct equivalent in terms of function, both tools are related to agricultural practices and the preparation of land or harvest. The Greek term emphasizes the cutting aspect, similar to the Hebrew מַחֲרֵשָׁה, though used in a different context. Usage: The term מַחֲרֵשָׁה is used in the context of agricultural or construction tools, particularly those used for breaking ground or cutting through materials. Context: מַחֲרֵשָׁה (macharesha) is a Hebrew term that appears in the context of tools used for labor-intensive tasks such as agriculture or construction. The word is derived from the root חָרַשׁ (charash), which conveys the idea of cutting or engraving, indicating the tool's primary function of breaking or cutting through hard surfaces. In ancient times, such tools were essential for preparing land for planting or for construction purposes. The pick-axe, as understood in this context, would have been a vital implement for farmers and builders alike, enabling them to work the land or shape materials for building.
