Strong's Lexicon shethah: Surface, expanse, field Original Word: שְׁתָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to spread out or expand. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "χώρα" (chōra - Strong's Greek 5561), which also means land or region. Usage: The Hebrew word "shethah" refers to a surface or expanse, often used in the context of land or fields. It conveys the idea of an open area that is spread out, typically used in agricultural or geographical contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land and fields were central to daily life and survival. Agriculture was the primary means of sustenance, and the expanse of land available for farming was crucial. The concept of "shethah" would have been familiar to the Israelites, as it represented the physical space where they cultivated crops and grazed livestock. The land was also a significant part of God's covenant with Israel, symbolizing His provision and blessing.
