sickle, harvesting tool
A curved blade tool used for harvesting grain, appearing in both literal agricultural and metaphorical judgment contexts. Jeremiah 50:16 commands cutting off the sower and the one who handles the sickle—destroying Babylon's agricultural capacity. Joel 3:13 uses the sickle metaphorically: 'Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe'—a vivid image of divine judgment as harvesting ripe wickedness. The sickle becomes an instrument of both sustenance and judgment.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A sickle, the curved blade tool for cutting grain at harvest. Appears in two contexts: (1) Jeremiah 50:16—literal agricultural reference, 'cut off the one who handles the sickle at harvest' as part of Babylon's destruction; (2) Joel 3:13—metaphorical judgment, 'put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe,' where harvest imagery represents God reaping judgment on nations. This imagery later appears in Revelation 14. The sickle connects agriculture and eschatology. 2×
