Berean Strong's Lexicon therizó: To reap, to harvest Original Word: θερίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: therizó Pronunciation: theh-REE-zo Phonetic Spelling: (ther-id'-zo) Definition: To reap, to harvest Meaning: I reap, gather, harvest. Word Origin: From the Greek word θέρος (theros), meaning "summer" or "harvest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7114 קָצַר (qatsar): To reap, harvest - H7105 קָצִיר (qatsir): Harvest, the act of reaping Usage: The verb "therizó" primarily means to reap or harvest, referring to the act of gathering crops. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the gathering of spiritual fruit or the consequences of one's actions. The term conveys the idea of receiving the results of what has been sown, whether in a physical or spiritual sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, harvesting was a critical time of year, marking the culmination of a season's labor. The process of reaping was not only essential for survival but also held significant cultural and religious importance. In the Jewish tradition, harvest times were associated with festivals such as the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and the Feast of Tabernacles, which celebrated God's provision and faithfulness. The imagery of reaping and sowing was deeply embedded in the cultural consciousness, symbolizing both divine blessing and judgment.
