Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb קָצַר (qatsar), meaning "to cut off" or "to reap."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G68 (agros): Refers to a field, often used in the context of agricultural work.
• G2326 (therismos): Directly translates to "harvest," used in the New Testament to describe the gathering of crops or people.
• G2330 (therizo): Means "to reap" or "to harvest," indicating the act of gathering crops.
• G2814 (klados): Refers to a branch or limb, similar to the metaphorical use of קָצִיר as something severed.
• G4863 (synago): Means "to gather together," often used in the context of gathering a harvest or people.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term קָצִיר (qatsir), highlighting its significance in both agricultural and metaphorical contexts within the biblical narrative.

Usage: The word קָצִיר is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often in relation to agricultural practices and cycles. It appears in discussions about the physical act of harvesting crops, the season designated for harvest, and the people involved in the process. Additionally, it can be used metaphorically to describe judgment or the end of an era.

Context: • Agricultural Context: In ancient Israel, the harvest was a critical time of year, marking the culmination of the agricultural cycle. The term קָצִיר is frequently used to describe this period, which was essential for the sustenance and economy of the community. For example, in Genesis 8:22, the regularity of seedtime and harvest is assured as part of God's covenant with creation: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease."

• Religious and Cultural Significance: Harvest times were often associated with religious festivals and offerings, such as the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), which celebrated the wheat harvest. In Exodus 23:16, the Feast of Harvest is mentioned: "You are to celebrate the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field."

• Metaphorical Use: The concept of harvest is also used metaphorically in the Bible to signify judgment or the gathering of people. In Joel 3:13, the imagery of harvest is used to describe divine judgment: "Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the vats overflow, because their wickedness is great."

• Role of the Reaper: The reaper, or the one who performs the act of harvesting, is an integral part of the process. In the book of Ruth, the reapers play a significant role in the narrative, as seen in Ruth 2:3: "So she went out and began to glean in the fields behind the harvesters."
