Field
VIEW:18 DATA:01-04-2020
Sadeh in Hebrew implies cultivated land (as field is derived from felling trees), but unenclosed; whereas the English "field" implies enclosure. In contrast to the adjoining wilderness (Gen_33:19; Gen_36:35). The sadeh is contrasted with what is enclosed, as a vineyard (Num_22:23-24) or a city (Deu_28:3; Deu_28:16). Unwalled villages were counted by the law as "the fields of the country" (Lev_25:31). "Field" means the open country, apart from habitations, in Gen_25:27; Gen_37:15. Stones marked off separate plots; to remove these landmarks entailed the curse (Deu_27:17). The lack of fences exposed the fields to straying cattle (Exo_22:5) or fire (2Sa_14:30).
Hence, the need of watchers, now named nator. The rye or spelled was placed "in its (the field's) border" (Isa_28:25). The wheat was put in the middle, the best and safest place, and the several other grains in their own place. The tallest and strongest grain outside formed a kind of fence. "A town in the country (field)" is a provincial town, as distinguished from the royal city (1Sa_27:5). "Fruitful field" is a distinct word, Carmel. (See CARMEL.) Another term, mareh, "meadows," is a naked treeless region (Jdg_20:33); "the liers in wait came from the open plains of Gibeah"; not that their ambush was there, but the men of Benjamin had been previously enticed away from the city (Jdg_20:31), so the liers in wait came to the city from the thus exposed plain.

Field. The Hebrew, sadeh is applied to any cultivated ground, and, in some instances, in marked opposition to the neighboring wilderness. On the other hand, the sadeh is frequently contrasted with what is enclosed, whether a vineyard, a garden or a walled town. In many passages, the term implies what is remote from a house, Gen_4:8; Gen_24:63; Deu_22:25, or settled habitation, as in the case of Esau. Gen_25:27.
The separate plots of ground were marked off by stones, which might easily be removed, Deu_19:14; Deu_27:17, compare Job_24:2; Pro_22:28; Pro_23:10. The absence of fences rendered the fields liable to damage from straying cattle, Exo_22:5, or fire, Exo_22:6; 2Sa_14:30, hence, the necessity of constantly watching flocks and herds. From the absence of enclosures, cultivated land of any size might be termed a field.

Lev_19:19 (c) The Lord uses this figure to warn us against seeking to teach the truth in any group where falsehoods are taught. Teachers who teach GOD's Gospel of grace sometimes think they can succeed in their ministry while teaching in a group where the Word of GOD is denied, and the Gospel is perverted. The Lord warns against any such mixture of teaching. Wheat and cockleburs should never be sowed together in the field. The weeds will take the crop. (See Deu_22:9).
Psa_96:12 (c) This probably is a picture of the blessed condition of this earth during the millennial reign of CHRIST. There will be no weeds, no burrs, no poison ivy, but the fields will be fertile, and will abound with flowers, grains and those things which bring joy to the heart of man.
Isa_16:10 (c) This probably is a picture of the famine, dearth and drought that would overtake Israel, or Moab, or any other nation when they become worshippers of idols and have no love for the GOD of Heaven.
Eze_17:5 (a) Babylon in this case is represented as a field into which the King of Babylon took the leaders of Israel and most of the people. There they were to grow and become strong again before returning to Israel.
Mat_13:38 (a) This is a name given to the various countries of the earth in which there is a harvest of souls to be gathered for the Lord.
Joh_4:35 (c) It is used here to describe the crops of grain upon which the reaper was to work. The grain represents people with whom the Spirit has been dealing and has made ready for salvation.

Field
(usually שָׂדֶה, sadeh' [poetic שָׂדֵּי;saday'], ἄγρος; but occasionally אֶרֶוֹ, e'rets, land [Chald. בִּר, bar, open country], χώρα; הוּוֹ, chuts, out-doors; חֶלְקָה, chelkah', a portion or plot, χωρίον; שְׁדֵמָה, shedemah', a cultivated field, according to Gesenius and Furst from the context, in the plur. Deu_32:32 ; 2Ki_23:4; Isa_16:8; Jer_31:40; Hab_3:17; also יֶגֵב, fageb', an arable field, in the plur. Jer_39:10). The Hebrew sadeh is not adequately represented by our "field:" the two words agree in describing cultivated land, but they differ in point of extent, the sadeh being specifically applied to what is unenclosed, while the opposite notion of enclosure is involved in the word field, SEE DESERT.
The essence of the Hebrew word has been variously taken to lie in each of these notions, Gesenius (Thesaurus, p. 1321) giving it the sense of freedom, Stanley (Palest. p. 484) that of smoothness, comparing arvum from arare. On the one hand sadeh is applied to any cultivated ground, whether pasture (Gen_29:2; Gen_31:4; Gen_34:7; Exo_9:3), tillage (Gen_37:7; Gen_47:24; Rth_2:2-3; Job_24:6; Jer_26:18; Mic_3:12), woodland (1Sa_14:25, A. V. "ground;"' Psa_132:6), or mountain-top (Jdg_9:32; Jdg_9:36; 2Sa_1:21): and in some instances in marked opposition to the neighboring wilderness, as in the instance of Jacob settling in the field of Shechem (Gen_33:19), the field of Moab (Gen_36:35; Num_21:20, A. V. "country;" Rth_1:1), and the vale of Siddim, i.e. of the cultivated fields, which formed the oasis of the Pentapolis (Gen_14:3; Gen_14:8), though a different sense has been given to the name (by Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 1321). On the other hand, the sadeh is frequently contrasted with what is enclosed, whether a vineyard (Exo_22:5; Lev_25:3-4;. Num_16:14; Num_20:17; compare Num_22:23; "the ass went into the field," with Num_22:24, "a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side and a wall on that side"), a garden (the very name of which, גִּן, implies enclosure), or a walled town (Deu_28:3; Deu_28:16): unwalled villages or scattered houses ranked in the eye of the law as fields (Lev_25:31), and hence the expression εἰςτοὐς ἀγροὐς = - houses in the fields (Vulg. in villas; Mar_6:36; Mar_6:56). In many passages the term implies what is remote from a house (Gen_4:8; Gen_24:63; Deu_22:25) or settled habitation, as in the case of Esau (Gen_25:27; the Sept., however, refers it to his character, ἄγροικος): this is more fully expressed by פְּנֵי הִשָּׂדֶה, " the opez field" (Lev_14:7; Lev_14:53; Lev_17:5; Num_19:16; 2Sa_11:11), with which is naturally coupled the notion of exposure and desertion (Jer_9:22; Eze_16:5; Eze_32:4; Eze_33:27; Eze_39:5). SEE MEADOW.
The separate plots of ground were marked off by stones, which might easily be removed (Deu_19:14; Deu_27:17; comp. Job_24:2; Pro_22:28; Pro_23:10); the absence of fences rendered the fields liable to damage from straying cattle (Exo_22:5) or fire (Exo_22:6; 2Sa_14:30); hence tile necessity of constantly watching flocks and herds, the people so employed being in the present day named Nature (Wortabet, Syria, i, 293). A certain amount of protection was gained by sowing the tallest and strongest of the grain crops on the outside: "spelt" appears to have been most commonly used for this purpose (Isa_28:25, as in the margin). From the absence of enclosures, cultivated land of any size might be termed a field, whether it were a piece of ground of limited area (Gen_23:13; Gen_23:17; Isa_5:8), a man's whole inheritance (Lev_27:16 sq.; Rth_4:5; Jer_32:9; Jer_32:25 ; Pro_27:26; Pro_31:16), the ager publicus of a town (Gen_41:48; Neh_12:29), as distinct, however, from the ground immediately adjacent to the walls of the Levitical cities, which was called מַגְרָשׁ(A. V. "'suburbs"), and was deemed an appendage of the town itself (Jos_21:11-12), or, lastly, the territory of a people (Gen_14:7; Gen_32:3; Gen_36:35; Num_21:20; Rth_1:6; Rth_4:3; 1Sa_6:1; 1Sa_27:7; 1Sa_27:11). In 1Sa_27:5, "a town in the field" (Auth. Vers. "country")=a provincial town as distinct from the royal city. A plot of ground separated from a larger one was termed חֶלְקִת שָׂדֶה(Gen_33:19; Rth_2:3; 1Ch_11:13), or simply חֶלְקָה(2Sa_14:10; 2Sa_23:12; comp. 2Sa_19:29). Fields occasionally received names after remarkable events, as Helkath-Hazzurim, the field of the strong men, or possibly of swords (2Sa_2:16), or from the use to which they may have been applied (2Ki_18:17; Isa_7:3; Mat_27:7). SEE LAND.
It should be observed that the expressions "fruitful field" (Isa_10:18; Isa_29:17; Isa_32:15-16) and "plentiful field" (Isa_16:10; Jer_48:33) are not connected with sadeh, but with karmel, meaning a park or well- kept wood, as distinct from. a .wilderness or a forest. The same term occurs in 2Ki_19:23, and Isa_37:24 (A.Vers. " Carmel"); Isa_10:18 ("forest)," and Jer_4:26 ("fruitful place"). SEE CARMEL. Distinct from this is the expression in Eze_17:5, שְׂדֵהאּזֶרִע(AV. " fruitful field"), which means a field suited for planting suckers. SEE AGRICULTURE.
