Mowing

VIEW:15 DATA:01-04-2020
In Scripture means "reaping with a sickle", for the heat dries up the grass before it is high enough for the scythe (Psa_129:7). In Amo_7:1 "the king's mowings" were the firstfruits of the pastures, tyrannically exacted. "The latter growth" was "the after grass" in the time of the latter rain.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Mowing. As the great heat of the climate in Palestine and other similarly situated countries soon dries up the herbage itself, hay-making in our sense of the term is not in use. The "king's mowings," Amo_7:1, may perhaps refer to some royal right, of early pasturage for the use of the cavalry.

Mowing
(גֵּז, gez, Vulg. tonsio, Amo_7:1; the Sept. reads Γώγ ὁ βασιλεύς, either from a various reading or a confusion of the letters זand ג), a word signifying also a shorn fleece, and rendered in Psa_72:6, "mown grass." As the great heat of the climate in Palestine and other similarly situated countries soon dries up the herbage itself, hay-making in our sense of the term is not in use. The term "hay," therefore, in the Prayer-book version of Psa_106:20, for עֵשֶׂב, is incorrect; A.V. "grass." So also Pro_27:25, and Isa_15:6. The corn destined for forage is cut with a sickle. The term קֹצֵר, A.V. "mower," Psa_129:7, is most commonly in A.V. "reaper," and once, Jer_9:22, "harvestman." SEE REAPING.
The "king's mowings," Amo_7:1, i.e., mown grass, Psa_72:6, may perhaps refer to some royal right of early pasturage for the use of the cavalry. Comp. 1Ki_18:5.
