It is often used in the context of land or fields, indicating a flat, expansive space. The term can also imply a sense of openness or exposure, as in a field that is visible and accessible.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, land and fields were central to daily life and survival. Agriculture was the primary means of sustenance, and fields were vital for growing crops and grazing livestock. The concept of an open field, or "shethah," would have been familiar to the Israelites, symbolizing both the provision of God through the land and the labor required to cultivate it. Fields were also places of social interaction and community gatherings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/8351.htm">sheth</a>, q.v.<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> III. <font class="hebrew2">שֵׁת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>seat</b></font> (of body), <font size="+1"><b>buttocks</b></font> (compare Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">שִׁית</font>, Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb105904.gif"> <em>foundation</em>;
