Strong's Lexicon agros: Field, countryside Original Word: ἀγρός Word Origin: Derived from the root ἄγω (ago), meaning "to lead" or "to bring," which is related to the idea of a place that is led or brought into cultivation. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7704 (שָׂדֶה, sadeh) - field, land - H3778 (כֶּרֶם, kerem) - vineyard, cultivated field Usage: The Greek word "agros" primarily refers to a field or a piece of land used for agriculture. It can also denote the countryside or rural areas in contrast to urban settings. In the New Testament, "agros" is often used metaphorically to describe the world or a place of labor and growth, reflecting the agrarian society of the time. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, agriculture was the backbone of the economy and daily life. Fields were essential for growing crops and sustaining communities. The imagery of fields is prevalent in biblical texts, symbolizing growth, harvest, and divine provision. The concept of fields also ties into the Jewish understanding of the Promised Land as a place of abundance and blessing.
