The term "pasture" refers to land covered with grass and other low plants suitable for grazing animals, particularly sheep and cattle. The imagery of pastures is frequently used in the Bible to convey themes of provision, peace, and divine care.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Symbolism</b><br><br>1. <b>Provision and Abundance</b>: Pastures are often depicted as places of abundance and divine provision. In <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1-2</a> , David famously writes, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters." Here, the green pastures symbolize God's provision and care, offering rest and sustenance to His people.<br><br>2. <b>Divine Care and Guidance</b>: The imagery of pastures is also used to illustrate God's guidance and protection. In <a href="/ezekiel/34-14.htm">Ezekiel 34:14-15</a> , God promises, "I will tend them in good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD." This passage emphasizes God's role as a shepherd who leads His flock to safety and nourishment.<br><br>3. <b>Spiritual Nourishment</b>: Pastures are not only physical locations but also represent spiritual nourishment and growth. In <a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a> , Jesus declares, "I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture." Here, pasture signifies the spiritual sustenance and freedom found in Christ.<br><br>4. <b>Judgment and Restoration</b>: The condition of pastures can also symbolize the spiritual state of the people. In <a href="/jeremiah/25-36.htm">Jeremiah 25:36-37</a> , the desolation of pastures is a metaphor for judgment: "Listen to the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. The peaceful meadows will be reduced to wasteland because of the LORD’s burning anger." Conversely, the restoration of pastures signifies renewal and hope, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/30-23.htm">Isaiah 30:23</a> : "Then He will give rain for the seed you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures."<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, pastures were vital for the survival of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples. Shepherds, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David, relied on pastures to feed their flocks. The availability of lush pastures often determined the movement and settlement patterns of these communities. The biblical landscape, with its varied topography and climate, required shepherds to be knowledgeable about the best grazing areas and the seasonal changes affecting pasture quality.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of pastures in the Bible extends beyond physical sustenance to encompass spiritual truths about God's relationship with His people. As the Good Shepherd, God provides, guides, and protects, leading His flock to places of rest and nourishment. The imagery of pastures serves as a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and the peace found in His presence.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/4999.htm"><span class="l">4999. naah -- habitation, house, pasture, pleasant place</span></a><br><b>...</b> 4998, 4999. naah. 5000 . habitation, house, pasture, pleasant place.<br> Transliteration: naah Phonetic Spelling: (naw-aw') Short Definition: <b>pastures</b>. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/4999.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/5116c.htm"><span class="l">5116c. navah -- pasture, meadow</span></a><br><b>...</b> 5116b, 5116c. navah. 5117 . pasture, meadow.
