sa.day occurs chiefly in clauses concerning fields or open ground, including their creatures, produce, and vegetation.

In Psalm 96:12 the noun occurs in the clause that the APB renders, “Let the field exult and all that is in it,” while Psalm 104:11 and Isaiah 56:9 place it in clauses about animals associated with the field. Deuteronomy 32:13 and Lamentations 4:9 connect the surrounding clauses with the field’s fruit, and Joel 2:22 speaks of beasts and green pastures in a setting of renewed vegetation.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the relevant clauses with “field,” as in Psalm 96:12, Psalm 104:11, and Isaiah 56:9, and also refers to fruit, animals, or vegetation in related settings. Several occurrences do not permit a precise English equivalent to be assigned to the noun.
