noun

«tillage» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

In Proverbs and Chronicles it means farmed land and its crops, or the work of farming. In Proverbs it also stands for what a person does and produces.

**Interpretation.** Proverbs teaches that even the "farming" of the wicked, their work and plans, is sinful when it comes from pride. The tradition values honest labor on the land and links wealth to righteousness.
