Strong's Lexicon qatsiyr: Harvest Original Word: קָצִיר Word Origin: From the root קָצַר (qatsar), meaning "to cut off" or "to reap." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2326 (therismos): Refers to the act of harvesting or the crop itself. - G2590 (karpos): Often translated as "fruit," it can also refer to the produce of the harvest. Usage: The term "qatsiyr" primarily refers to the time of reaping or the act of harvesting crops. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote both the literal gathering of crops and metaphorically to describe times of judgment or blessing. The harvest is often associated with God's provision and faithfulness, as well as a time of joy and celebration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of life, and the harvest was a critical time of year. The agricultural calendar revolved around the planting and reaping of crops such as wheat, barley, and grapes. The harvest was not only a time of physical gathering but also a period of religious significance, marked by festivals such as the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), which celebrated the firstfruits of the wheat harvest. The concept of harvest also carried spiritual connotations, symbolizing God's judgment and the gathering of His people.
