Senses in use

  1. Produce yielded by cultivated land · dominant

    In Hebrews 6:7, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause about land that drinks frequent rain and brings forth produce suitable for those for whose sake it is cultivated; the APB renders the clause "produces a crop suitable for those for whose sake it is also cultivated."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hebrews 6:7, the APB presents the term within the land image as "a crop" that the land produces. This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
