It can also imply silence or being still, derived from the idea of being undisturbed or at rest. In the agricultural context, it signifies the essential work of preparing the ground for sowing seeds, a critical step in the agrarian society of ancient Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The act of plowing was crucial for ensuring a good harvest, and it was often done using oxen or other animals to break up the soil. The concept of "charish" also extends metaphorically to the idea of preparing one's heart or life for spiritual growth, much like preparing soil for planting. The dual meaning of plowing and silence reflects the importance of both physical labor and spiritual stillness in Hebrew thought.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2790.htm">charash</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a plowing, plowing time<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>plowing (2), plowing time (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">חָרִישׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ploughing, ploughing-time</b></font> — absolute <font class="hebrew2">וְקָצִיר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/45-6.htm">Genesis 45:6</a> (E) <em>ploughing and harvesting</em>;
