Strong's Lexicon geórgos: Farmer, Husbandman, Vinedresser Original Word: γεωργός Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: geórgos Pronunciation: gheh-ore-GOS Phonetic Spelling: (gheh-ore-gos') Definition: a worker of the soil, husbandman, farmer, farm-laborer, vine-dresser. Meaning: A husbandman, farmer, or tiller of the soil; one who works the land. Word Origin: Derived from γῆ (gē, meaning "earth" or "land") and ἔργον (ergon, meaning "work" or "labor"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of a farmer or tiller of the soil in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by terms such as אִכָּר (ikkar, Strong's Hebrew 406), which means "farmer" or "plowman." • Another related term is עֹבֵד (oved, Strong's Hebrew 5647), meaning "worker" or "servant," which can be used in the context of working the land. These entries provide a comprehensive understanding of the term γεωργός, illustrating its significance in both literal and metaphorical contexts within the biblical narrative. Usage: The term γεωργός is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals who cultivate the land, often metaphorically representing spiritual cultivation or stewardship. Context: • The Greek term γεωργός appears in several New Testament passages, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual truths. In the Parable of the Tenants (Matthew 21:33-41, Mark 12:1-9, Luke 20:9-16), γεωργός refers to the tenants or farmers who are entrusted with the care of a vineyard, symbolizing the leaders of Israel and their responsibility to God. The parable highlights themes of stewardship, accountability, and judgment. • In John 15:1, Jesus uses the imagery of a vine and branches, stating, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser (γεωργός)." Here, God is depicted as the divine farmer who tends to the vine, ensuring its health and productivity. This passage emphasizes the relationship between Christ, believers, and the Father, illustrating the necessity of remaining in Christ to bear fruit. • The Apostle Paul also employs agricultural metaphors in his epistles. In 1 Corinthians 3:9, he writes, "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building." The term γεωργός is implicit in the concept of being God's field, where believers are cultivated by God’s servants to grow in faith and maturity. • The use of γεωργός in the New Testament underscores the importance of faithful stewardship and the expectation of producing spiritual fruit. It reflects the agrarian context of the biblical world, where farming was a common occupation and a powerful metaphor for spiritual truths. HELPS Word-studies 1092???
