Usage: The verb אָגַר (agar) is used in the context of gathering or harvesting, often referring to the collection of crops or produce.

Context: The Hebrew verb אָגַר (agar) is a primitive root that primarily conveys the action of gathering or harvesting. This term is used in the context of agricultural activities, where it describes the process of collecting crops from the fields. The act of harvesting is a significant event in the agrarian society depicted in the Bible, symbolizing not only the culmination of a season's labor but also God's provision and blessing. The concept of gathering is often associated with themes of abundance and divine favor, as the successful harvest is seen as a direct result of God's grace and the diligent work of the people.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the physical act of gathering crops, as well as metaphorically to describe the gathering of people or resources. The imagery of harvest is frequently employed in biblical literature to convey spiritual truths, such as the gathering of believers or the final judgment.
