It is used to describe those who prepare the ground for planting crops, an essential role in agrarian societies. The word emphasizes the labor and preparation necessary for a fruitful harvest.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The role of the plowman was crucial, as successful farming depended on the careful preparation of the soil. The plowman would break up the ground, making it ready for sowing seeds. This process was symbolic of spiritual preparation and readiness, often used metaphorically in the Scriptures to describe the work of God in preparing the hearts of His people.<div
