It is used to describe those who work the land, preparing it for planting and cultivation. This role is essential in an agrarian society, where the success of crops directly impacts the community's sustenance and economy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The land was seen as a divine gift, and its cultivation was a sacred duty. The plowman, or "choresh," played a crucial role in this process, ensuring that the land was ready for sowing. The agricultural cycle was closely tied to religious festivals and observances, such as the Feast of Firstfruits and the Feast of Weeks, which celebrated the harvest.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>active participle of <a href="/hebrew/2790.htm">charash</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>artificer <p>Active participle of <a href="/hebrew/2790.htm">charash</a>; a fabricator or mechanic -- artificer. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2790.htm">charash</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>חֹרֵ֣שׁ חֹרֵ֥שׁ חרש choResh ḥō·rêš ḥōrêš<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/genesis/4-22.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Genesis 4:22</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לֹטֵ֕שׁ כָּל־ <b> חֹרֵ֥שׁ </b> נְחֹ֖שֶׁת וּבַרְזֶ֑ל</span><br><a href="/kjvs/genesis/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> an instructer <span class="itali">of every artificer</span> in brass<br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/4-22.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the forger of all <span class="itali">artificer</span> of bronze and iron<p><b><a href="/text/1_kings/7-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Kings 7:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אִישׁ־ צֹרִי֮ <b> חֹרֵ֣שׁ </b> נְחֹשֶׁת֒ וַ֠יִּמָּלֵא</span><br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/7-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> was a man of Tyre <span class="itali">artificer</span> bronze was filled<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2794.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2794.htm">Strong's Hebrew 2794<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/choresh_2794.htm">ḥō·rêš — 2 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/2793.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2793"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2793" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2795.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2795"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2795" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
