Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek ἀγρός corresponds to several Hebrew terms used in the Old Testament to denote fields or land, such as:
• Strong's Hebrew 7704: שָׂדֶה (sadeh) • field, land, open country.
• Strong's Hebrew 3774: כֶּרֶם (kerem) • vineyard, cultivated field.
• Strong's Hebrew 1250: בַּר (bar) • field, countryside, often used in poetic contexts.

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the concept of agricultural land and are used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, reflecting the agrarian society of ancient Israel.

Usage: • The term ἀγρός is used in the New Testament to describe fields or rural areas, often in the context of parables, teachings, and descriptions of the landscape. It appears in various contexts, including agricultural metaphors and literal descriptions of land.

Context: • The Greek word ἀγρός appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is often translated as "field" or "countryside." For example, in Matthew 13:44, Jesus uses the term in the Parable of the Hidden Treasure: "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field." Here, ἀγρός symbolizes the world or a place where divine truths are discovered.

• In the context of Jesus' teachings, ἀγρός is frequently used to convey spiritual lessons. In Matthew 6:28, Jesus refers to the "lilies of the field" to teach about God's provision and care, emphasizing trust in divine providence over material concerns.

• The term also appears in narratives describing the setting of events, such as in Mark 5:14, where the herdsmen fled to the city and reported what had happened in the countryside (ἀγρός). This usage highlights the distinction between rural and urban settings in the biblical narrative.

• Theologically, ἀγρός can represent the mission field, where the seeds of the Gospel are sown and cultivated. It underscores the idea of growth, harvest, and the labor involved in spreading the message of Christ.
