These Greek terms correspond to the Hebrew בָּצִיר in their reference to the grape harvest and the associated activities. They appear in the New Testament in contexts that reflect the agricultural practices and metaphors familiar to the ancient audience.

Usage: The word בָּצִיר is used in the context of grape harvesting and is often associated with the vintage season. It appears in various passages to describe the gathering of grapes or the produce of the vine.

Context: בָּצִיר (Batsir) is a term that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the grape harvest or vintage. This word is significant in the agricultural and economic life of ancient Israel, where viticulture was a vital part of the agrarian society. The grape harvest was a time of joy and celebration, as it marked the culmination of a season's labor and the provision of wine, a staple in the diet and religious practices of the Israelites.

In the Berean Standard Bible, בָּצִיר is used in several contexts. For example, in Isaiah 24:13, it is written, "So will it be on the earth and among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, as gleanings after the grape harvest." This passage uses the imagery of the grape harvest to describe a time of judgment and desolation, contrasting the usual joy associated with the vintage.

The grape harvest was not only an agricultural event but also held religious significance. The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, was celebrated during the grape harvest, symbolizing the gathering of the people and the blessings of the land. The vintage season was a time of communal gathering, thanksgiving, and reflection on God's provision.
