te.lem denotes a plowed strip of ground, pictured in relation to fields, land, and cultivation.

The attested forms denote cultivated strips or divisions of ground: they are linked with a field in Hosea 10:4, with land in Job 31:38, and with the wild ox’s work in Job 39:10. The same plural construct form also occurs in Hosea 12:12 and Psalm 65:11, though the APB wording there does not isolate its contribution.

   The construct forms occur in agricultural or land-related settings. In Hosea 10:4 the APB renders judgment as sprouting “upon the furrows of the field”; in Job 31:38 it renders the land and its “furrows” as crying and weeping, while Job 39:10 places the singular construct form in the question of whether a wild ox will harrow the valleys. Hosea 12:12 and Psalm 65:11 also contain plural construct forms, but their APB renderings do not make the term’s specific English equivalent clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “furrows” in Hosea 10:4 and Job 31:38. In Job 39:10 it uses “the furrow,” while the supplied APB texts for Hosea 12:12 and Psalm 65:11 do not visibly reflect the term.
