They sow fields
This phrase begins with the action of sowing, which is a fundamental agricultural practice. In the Hebrew context, the word for "sow" is "זָרַע" (zara), which implies planting seeds with the expectation of growth and harvest. This act of sowing fields is symbolic of faith and diligence. In ancient Israel, agriculture was a primary means of sustenance and economic stability. The act of sowing represents human effort and cooperation with God's natural order. It is a reminder of the biblical principle that one reaps what one sows (Galatians 6:7), emphasizing the importance of righteous actions and trust in God's provision.

and plant vineyards
Planting vineyards is a step beyond sowing fields, as vineyards require more time and care to cultivate. The Hebrew word for "plant" is "נָטַע" (nata), which conveys the idea of establishing something that will endure. Vineyards in the biblical context are often associated with prosperity, joy, and blessing (Psalm 104:15). The cultivation of vineyards signifies a long-term investment and a hope for future abundance. It reflects the blessings of the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey, where vineyards would thrive. This phrase encourages believers to invest in their spiritual lives, nurturing their faith with patience and care.

that yield a fruitful harvest
The culmination of sowing and planting is the yielding of a fruitful harvest. The Hebrew word for "yield" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), meaning to produce or bring forth. A "fruitful harvest" is the desired outcome of the labor and care invested in the fields and vineyards. In the biblical narrative, a fruitful harvest is a sign of God's favor and blessing. It is a metaphor for spiritual fruitfulness, as seen in Galatians 5:22-23, where the fruits of the Spirit are listed. This phrase reassures believers that their efforts, when aligned with God's will, will result in spiritual growth and blessings. It is a call to remain faithful and diligent, trusting that God will bring forth a bountiful harvest in due time.

Verse 37. - And sow the fields; literally, and sow fields - the first act of a settled population. And plant vineyards. The second act in a wine-producing country. Bread and wine were recognized in the East as the prime necessaries of life (see Genesis 14:18; Judges 9:13; Judges 19:19; 2 Samuel 6:19; Nehemiah 5:15; Psalm 104:15; Daniel 1:5, etc.). Which may yield fruits of increase; rather, and get them; literally, make them. The expression, "fruits of increase," points to the abundance of the harvest and vintage.
