Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to dig.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word אֵת (et) as it specifically refers to a Hebrew agricultural tool. However, Greek terms related to agriculture or tools might be considered in broader studies of biblical agrarian practices. Usage: The term אֵת is used in the context of agricultural tools, specifically referring to implements used for digging or tilling the soil. Context: The Hebrew word אֵת (et) appears in the context of agricultural practices in ancient Israel. It is understood to refer to a hoe or similar tool used for breaking up the ground, preparing the soil for planting, or other related tasks. The use of such tools was essential in the agrarian society of biblical times, where manual labor was the primary means of cultivating the land. The hoe, as indicated by אֵת, would have been a common implement in the daily life of farmers, reflecting the importance of agriculture in sustaining the community. The term is not frequently mentioned in the biblical text, but its presence underscores the practical aspects of life and work in ancient Israel.
