Field:
(Heb. sadeh), a cultivated field, but unenclosed. It is applied to any cultivated ground or pasture (Gen 29:2; 31:4; 34:7), or tillage (Gen 37:7; 47:24). It is also applied to woodland (Psa 132:6) or mountain top (Jdg 9:32,36; 2Sa 1:21). It denotes sometimes a cultivated region as opposed to the wilderness (Gen 33:19; 36:35). Unwalled villages or scattered houses are spoken of as "in the fields" (Deu 28:3,16; Lev 25:31; Mar 6:36,56). The "open field" is a place remote from a house (Gen 4:8; Lev 14:7,53; 17:5). Cultivated land of any extent was called a field (Gen 23:13,17; 41:8; Lev 27:16; Rth 4:5; Neh 12:29).
