Woman plowing near Hebron. Dec. 8th, 1937
Besides the literal signification of breaking up the ground for tillage, this term is employed figuratively; as “plotting” wickedness (Job 4:88Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. (Job 4:8); Hos. 10:1313Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. (Hosea 10:13)). Israel, speaking of the trials they had passed through, say, “The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows” (Psa. 129:33The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. (Psalm 129:3)). It is doubtless typical of the treatment which the blessed Lord received when on earth, especially His being scourged.
