Strong's Lexicon shethah: Surface, expanse, field Original Word: שֵׁתָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to spread out or expand. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is "ἀγρός" (agros), Strong's Greek #68, which also means field or land. Usage: The Hebrew word "shethah" generally refers to a broad, open area or surface. It is often used in the context of land or fields, indicating a flat, expansive space. The term can also imply a sense of openness or exposure, as in a field that is visible and accessible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land and fields were central to daily life and survival. Agriculture was the primary means of sustenance, and fields were vital for growing crops and grazing livestock. The concept of an open field, or "shethah," would have been familiar to the Israelites, symbolizing both the provision of God through the land and the labor required to cultivate it. Fields were also places of social interaction and community gatherings. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as sheth, q.v.
