In the context of the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe God's care and cultivation of His people, often symbolized as a vineyard.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient agrarian societies, vineyards were a significant part of the economy and daily life. The role of the vinedresser was crucial, as they ensured the health and productivity of the vines. This imagery was familiar to Jesus' audience, who understood the importance of diligent care in producing a fruitful harvest. The metaphor of the vineyard is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, symbolizing Israel as God's chosen people, as seen in passages like Isaiah 5:1-7.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/288.htm">ampelos</a> and <a href="/greek/2041.htm">ergon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a vinedresser<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>vineyard-keeper (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 289: ἀμπελουργός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμπελουργός</span></span>, , <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">ἄμπελος</span> and <span class="greek2">ΑΡΓΩ</span>), <span class="accented">a vinedresser</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/13-7.htm">Luke 13:7</a>.
