the cultivated fields
| Root | ἀγρός (agros) |
| Core Meanings | field, cultivated land, open country, farmland, rural district |
| Semantic Range | arable field, farmland, pasture, rural property, countryside, agricultural district, farmstead |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἀγρός evokes the agrarian setting of much of Israel’s life—places of sowing, reaping, labor, and parabolic teaching. It often represents the sphere of human cultivation and divine provision, and in parables can symbolize the world or the realm in which God’s purposes grow and unfold. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMP = noun, accusative, masculine, plural; functions typically as a direct object or object of certain prepositions; lexical form ἀγρός. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "the cultivated fields" preserves the agrarian sense of ἀγρός as arable or worked land, reflecting its likely derivation from ἄγω (to lead/drive), originally referring to land for driving or grazing livestock. The plural form reflects the accusative masculine plural (AMP), indicating multiple fields functioning as the direct object in context. |
