Fallow

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

fal´ō ( דּמם , dāmam ): Dāmam is translated only once in the sense of "fallow" (Exodus 23:11 ). The law required that the Israelites allow their ground to lie fallow one year in, seven. the King James Version is (Deuteronomy 14:5 ) נר , nir , and is translated "fallow" in its more obsolete sense of "tilled ground" in the King James Version (Jeremiah 4:3; Hosea 10:12 ).
