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 (Judg. 9:32, Judg. 9: 36; 2-Sam 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" (Deut. 28:3, Deut. 28: 16; Lev. 25:31; Mark 6:36, Mark 6: 56). The "open field" is a place remote from a house (Gen. 4:8; Lev. 14:7, Lev. 14: 53;17:5). Cultivated land of any extent was called a field (Gen. 23:13, Gen. 23: 17;41:8; Lev. 27:16; Ruth 4:5; Neh. 12:29).
