Strong's Lexicon qayits: Summer, summer fruit, harvest Original Word: קַיִץ Word Origin: From the root קוּץ (quwts), which means "to awake" or "to be alert," often associated with the time of harvest. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2330 (therismos): Refers to harvest, reaping, or the act of gathering crops. - G2331 (theros): Refers to summer or the warm season. Usage: The Hebrew word "qayits" primarily refers to the summer season or the summer fruit, particularly the harvest time. It is used to denote the period of gathering ripe fruits, especially figs and other produce that mature in the summer. The term can also symbolize the end of a cycle or a time of completion, as the harvest marks the culmination of the growing season. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the summer season was a critical time for agriculture. The climate of the region, characterized by hot and dry summers, made it essential for farmers to gather their crops before the intense heat could damage them. The summer harvest was a time of both hard work and celebration, as it provided sustenance for the coming months. The imagery of summer and harvest is often used in the Bible to convey themes of readiness, judgment, and the fulfillment of God's promises.
