Strong's Lexicon shedemah: Field, cultivated field Original Word: שְׁדֵמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁדַד (shadad), meaning "to devastate" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of cultivated fields can be related to Greek terms such as ἀγρός (agros, Strong's G68), which also means "field" or "land." Usage: The term "shedemah" refers to a cultivated field or a piece of land that has been prepared for agriculture. It is used to describe land that is actively being worked on or has been set aside for the purpose of growing crops. This word emphasizes the idea of human effort and cultivation in contrast to wild or uncultivated land. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The land was seen as a gift from God, and its cultivation was both a practical necessity and a spiritual duty. Fields were often family-owned and passed down through generations, and they played a crucial role in the community's sustenance and prosperity. The concept of a "shedemah" would have been familiar to the Israelites, as it represented not only their livelihood but also their obedience to God's command to work the land.
