Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7704 שָׂדֶה (sadeh) - field, land - H127 אֲדָמָה (adamah) - ground, land Usage: The term γεώργιον refers to a piece of land that is cultivated or farmed. It is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the people of God as a field that God cultivates, emphasizing the relationship between God as the divine farmer and believers as His field. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, farming was a central part of life. The imagery of fields and cultivation was commonly understood and used in teaching and parables.
