However, related agricultural terms in Greek might include those referring to fields, plowing, or cultivation practices. Usage: The term תֶּלֶם (telem) is used in the context of agriculture, referring to a ridge or terrace formed in the process of plowing or cultivating land. It is a feature of the landscape that results from the accumulation of soil, often used to manage water flow and prevent erosion. Context: The Hebrew word תֶּלֶם (telem) appears in the context of agricultural practices in ancient Israel. It is a term that describes the physical formations created by plowing, which are essential for effective farming in the hilly and often arid regions of the Near East. These banks or terraces help in retaining water and soil, making them crucial for successful crop cultivation. The concept of terracing is deeply embedded in the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites, reflecting their adaptation to the land's topography and climate. The use of תֶּלֶם in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of agriculture in the socio-economic and religious life of the people, as the land was seen as a divine gift that required careful stewardship.
