Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the root סָפַח (sāphaḥ), meaning "to join" or "to attach."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G305: ἀναβαίνω (anabainō) • to go up, ascend. This Greek term can metaphorically relate to the idea of something rising or coming forth, similar to self-sown crops. Usage: The word סָפִיחַ is used in the context of agricultural laws and practices, particularly in relation to the Sabbatical year, when the land was to lie fallow and any self-sown produce was not to be harvested for profit. Context: The term סָפִיחַ appears in the context of the agricultural laws given to the Israelites, specifically in Leviticus 25:5 and 25:11. During the Sabbatical year, the Israelites were commanded to let the land rest and not to sow their fields or prune their vineyards. Any produce that grew of its own accord, referred to as סָפִיחַ, was not to be harvested in the usual manner. Instead, it was to be left for the poor and for the animals. This practice underscored the principles of reliance on God's provision and care for the community, including the less fortunate.
