It conveys the idea of spending the night outdoors, often for the purpose of guarding or caring for animals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient agrarian societies, shepherds commonly lived in the fields with their flocks to protect them from predators and thieves. This practice was especially prevalent in the regions of Judea and Galilee, where pastoral life was integral to the economy and culture. Shepherds were often seen as humble and lowly, yet they played a crucial role in the community by providing wool, milk, and meat.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/68.htm">agros</a> and <a href="/greek/833.htm">aulé</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to live in the fields<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>staying out in the fields (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 63: ἀγραυλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγραυλέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ῶ</span>;
