See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "ikkar" refers to a farmer or plowman, someone who works the land. It is used to describe individuals engaged in agriculture, a fundamental occupation in ancient Israelite society. The role of the farmer was crucial for sustaining the community, providing food, and maintaining the agrarian economy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was the backbone of daily life and the economy. The Israelites were primarily an agrarian society, and farming was a respected and essential occupation. The land was seen as a divine gift, and working it was considered a partnership with God. The farmer's role was not only to cultivate crops but also to observe the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, which were integral to the social and religious fabric of Israelite life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a plowman, husbandman<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>farmer (3), farmers (3), plowmen (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אִכָּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Joel 1:11</sup> <font size="+1"><b>ploughman, husband-man</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb003808.gif">, Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb003809.gif">, <font class="hebrew2">אִיבָּרָא</font>, compare Mishna) <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> singular absolute <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/51-23.htm">Jeremiah 51:23</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">וְצִמְדּוֺ</font>) <a href="/interlinear/amos/5-16.htm">Amos 5:16</a>;
