The meaning of Agriculture in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Tilling the ground (Genesis 2:15; 4:2,3,12) and rearing cattle were the chief employments in ancient times. The Egyptians excelled in agriculture. And after the Israelites entered into the possession of the Promised Land, their circumstances favoured in the highest degree a remarkable development of this art. Agriculture became indeed the basis of the Mosaic commonwealth.
