         DefinitionShort: to scatter seed over tilled ground{N:001}

         Glosses: to sow

         Comments: In many languages there is a problem of translating σπείρω literally as ‘to scatter seed,’ since this is interpreted as an exceedingly wasteful manner of sowing, but unless one translates more or less literally and then provides some explanatory footnote, the parable loses much of its significance for many cultures.
