Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2326 (therismos): This Greek term refers to "harvest" or "reaping," which is the culmination of the agricultural process that begins with plowing. • G4703 (spora): This Greek word means "sowing" or "seedtime," closely related to the concept of plowing as it involves the planting of seeds in the prepared soil. In summary, חָרִישׁ (Charish) is a term deeply embedded in the agricultural life of ancient Israel, symbolizing the essential work of preparing the land for a successful harvest. It reflects both the physical labor involved and the spiritual discipline of adhering to divine commandments even during busy agricultural seasons. Usage: The term is used in the context of agricultural activities, specifically referring to the act of plowing or the season designated for plowing. It is often associated with the preparation of land for planting crops. Context: • Agricultural Context: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of life, and the act of plowing was crucial for ensuring a successful harvest. The plowing season typically occurred after the early rains softened the ground, making it easier to turn the soil. This preparation was essential for planting seeds and ensuring they had the best chance to grow. • Biblical References: The term חָרִישׁ appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often highlighting the importance of timely agricultural practices. For example, in Exodus 34:21 (BSB), it is written, "Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing and harvesting times, you must rest." This verse underscores the significance of observing the Sabbath even during critical agricultural periods. • Cultural Significance: Plowing was not only a physical task but also held symbolic meaning, representing preparation, diligence, and the anticipation of future growth and sustenance. The plowing season was a time of hope and expectation for a fruitful harvest.
