A straightforward agricultural term for those who cut and gather grain during harvest. In classical Greek literature the word appears in farming contexts, and it carries the same concrete meaning in the New Testament. Jesus uses the imagery of reapers in the parable of the wheat and tares (Matthew 13). The reapers who will separate wheat from weeds at the end of the age are identified as angels (Matt 13:39). The Spanish 'segadores' and French 'moissonneur' both preserve the agricultural specificity—these are not generic workers but those who wield the sickle at harvest. The word evokes the eschatological harvest, a common biblical metaphor for judgment and ingathering.
