sa.deh denotes an open field or tract of ground, especially where people travel, fight, pasture animals, or cultivate produce.

The term most often identifies an open field or countryside outside a city, where people meet, hide, travel, camp, or fight. It also denotes cultivated ground and holdings, including places with barley, herbs, produce, fields, vineyards, and pastureland.

1. Open field or countryside · dominant

   The singular absolute form occurs for an outdoor setting beyond the city or camp. In 1 Samuel 20:11 the APB renders Jonathan and David going out "into the field," while 1 Samuel 20:24 places David hiding there; 2 Samuel 11:23 describes men coming out against their opponents into that setting.

2. Cultivated ground or agricultural holding · common

   The term identifies ground associated with crops, gathering, livestock, and owned plots. In 1 Chronicles 11:13 the APB renders a portion of it as full of barley; in 2 Kings 4:39 someone goes out there to gather herbs; and 1 Samuel 8:14 speaks of plural construct forms alongside vineyards and olive trees.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the setting as "field," but also uses "open country," "land," and "country" in some clauses. Those English variations only confirm the verse-level settings and do not establish separate lexical meanings.
