The agrarian lifestyle is frequently referenced throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both the physical and spiritual lessons that can be drawn from the land and its cultivation.<br><br><b>Agricultural Practices</b><br><br>Farming in ancient Israel involved a variety of crops and livestock. Key crops included wheat, barley, grapes, olives, and figs. The land was cultivated using simple tools such as plows, sickles, and threshing sledges. The cycle of sowing and reaping was closely tied to the seasons, with the early and latter rains being crucial for a successful harvest. In <a href="/deuteronomy/11-14.htm">Deuteronomy 11:14</a>, God promises, "I will provide rain for your land in its season, the early and latter rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil."<br><br><b>Livestock</b><br><br>Livestock was also an integral part of farming life, with sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys being common. These animals provided milk, meat, wool, and labor. The care of flocks is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe God's relationship with His people, as seen in <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1</a>, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."<br><br><b>Sabbath and Jubilee</b><br><br>The Law of Moses included specific instructions regarding the land, emphasizing rest and renewal. Every seventh year, the land was to observe a Sabbath rest, as stated in <a href="/leviticus/25-4.htm">Leviticus 25:4</a>, "But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard." Additionally, the Year of Jubilee, occurring every fiftieth year, was a time when land was to be returned to its original owners, and debts were forgiven, underscoring the principles of restoration and divine provision.<br><br><b>Parables and Teachings</b><br><br>Jesus frequently used agricultural imagery in His parables to convey spiritual truths. The Parable of the Sower (<a href="/matthew/13-3.htm">Matthew 13:3-9</a>) illustrates the different responses to the Word of God, likening them to seeds falling on various types of soil. Similarly, the Parable of the Weeds (<a href="/matthew/13-24.htm">Matthew 13:24-30</a>) speaks to the coexistence of good and evil until the final judgment.<br><br><b>Spiritual Lessons</b><br><br>Farming metaphors are used throughout the Bible to teach about diligence, patience, and reliance on God. <a href="/proverbs/20-4.htm">Proverbs 20:4</a> warns, "The sluggard does not plow in season; at harvest time he looks, but nothing is there." This highlights the importance of hard work and preparation. Moreover, the Apostle Paul draws on agricultural imagery to describe spiritual growth and evangelism, as in <a href="/1_corinthians/3-6.htm">1 Corinthians 3:6-7</a>, "I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow."<br><br><b>Divine Provision</b><br><br>The Bible consistently emphasizes God's role as the ultimate provider. In <a href="/psalms/65-9.htm">Psalm 65:9-13</a>, the psalmist praises God for His abundant provision through the fertility of the land: "You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, for so You have prepared it." This passage reflects the belief that while human effort is necessary, it is ultimately God who blesses the work of farmers and ensures the fruitfulness of the earth.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(<a href="/matthew/22-5.htm">Matthew 22:5</a>). Every Hebrew had a certain portion of land assigned to him as a possession (<a href="/numbers/26-33.htm">Numbers 26:33</a>-56). In Egypt the lands all belonged to the king, and the husbandmen were obliged to give him a fifth part of the produce; so in Palestine Jehovah was the sole possessor of the soil, and the people held it by direct tenure from him. By the enactment of Moses, the Hebrews paid a tithe of the produce to Jehovah, which was assigned to the priesthood. Military service when required was also to be rendered by every Hebrew at his own expense. The occuptaion of a husbandman was held in high honour (<a href="/1_samuel/11-5.htm">1 Samuel 11:5</a>-7; <a href="/1_kings/19-19.htm">1 Kings 19:19</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/26-10.htm">2 Chronicles 26:10</a>).

In the many other passages where the same word occurs it is rendered "field" or "piece of ground." Farms such as the Occidental is accustomed to see, namely, isolated dwellings with their groups of outbuildings, surrounded by walls or hedges and overlooking the planted fields, were probably unknown in Palestine.
