Harvest
From BibleWiki
the season for gathering grain or fruit. On the 16th day of Abib (or April) a handful of ripe ears of corn was offered as a first-fruit before the Lord, and immediately after this the harvest commenced (Lev 23:9-14; 2 Sam 21:9, 10; Ruth 2:23). It began with the feast of Passover and ended with Pentecost, thus lasting for seven weeks (Ex 23:16). The harvest was a season of joy (Ps 1261-6; Isa 9:3). This word is used figuratively Mt 9:37; 13:30; Lk 10:2; Jn 4:35. (See AGRICULTURE.)
