H8393 noun

SILEX Entry

Definition

Produce, yield, especially agricultural crops that result from cultivating land; by extension, profit, revenue, or gain, including the results of trade or labor. In its primary sense, refers to what is brought forth from the earth, typically grain or field produce, but also encompasses general increase or profit in various contexts, whether material or figurative.

Semantic Range

agricultural produce, crop yield, harvest, income, profit, gain, revenue, increase, fruit (figurative), result of labor

Root / Etymology

From the root בוא (to come, enter, bring), with the form תְּבוּאָה denoting 'that which is brought in' or 'what comes forth.' While the root בוא normally means 'to come' or 'to bring,' in this nominal form it refers to the result or yield of cultivation, i.e., the produce that 'comes in' from the field or other productive activity.

Historical & Contextual Notes

In the Hebrew Bible, תְּבוּאָה is most frequently used for agricultural yield, particularly of grain and fields (e.g., Exodus 23:10; Proverbs 3:9), sometimes specified as wheat or other crops. The term can expand to cover general profit or gain, including the proceeds of labor (e.g., Proverbs 3:14; 10:16) and, more rarely, the increase from trade or business. In Levitical and legal texts, תְּבוּאָה often features in discussions of offerings, tithes, and firstfruits, showing its central role in the subsistence economy of ancient Israel. Unlike related terms such as דָגָן (grain), תְּבוּאָה is broader and may include any crop or harvest yield, and occasionally non-agricultural gain. English translations variously render this as 'produce,' 'increase,' or 'gain,' but may narrow its scope depending on context; thus, 'produce' or 'yield' best captures its range. In figurative passages, it can symbolize the results or 'fruits' of one's actions.
