It is used in the context of gathering crops, particularly grain, during the harvest season. This term is often employed metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the gathering of people, either for judgment or for salvation, reflecting the agricultural practices of the time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient agrarian societies, reaping was a critical activity that marked the culmination of the growing season. It was a time of both labor and celebration, as the harvest provided sustenance for the community. The imagery of reaping is frequently used in the Bible to convey spiritual truths, drawing on the familiar agricultural practices of the audience. The act of reaping was often associated with divine judgment or blessing, as it symbolized the gathering of what had been sown.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to reap<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mowed (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 270: ἀμάω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμάω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ῶ</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἤμησα</span>; (from <span class="greek2">ἅμα</span> together; hence, <span class="accented">to gather together,</span> cf.
