In the agricultural context of ancient Israel, sheaves were a common sight during the harvest season, representing the gathered produce of the fields.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The process of harvesting involved cutting the grain, gathering it into sheaves, and then transporting it to a threshing floor for further processing. Sheaves were not only a symbol of agricultural abundance but also played a role in religious practices, such as the offering of the firstfruits. The imagery of sheaves is often used in the Bible to convey themes of provision, blessing, and sometimes prophetic visions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/481.htm">alam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a sheaf<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sheaf (2), sheaves (3).<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">אֲלֻמָּה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sheaf</b></font>, in Joseph's dream <a href="/interlinear/genesis/37-7.htm">Genesis 37:7</a> (4 t. in verse) (E) followed by suffix <font class="hebrew2">אֲלֻמָּתִי</font>, plural <font class="hebrew2">אֲלֻמִּים</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אֲלֻמֹּתֵיכֶם</font>;
