1319) rn (נר NR) AC: Plow CO: Light AB: ?: The pictograph n is a picture of a seed, the r is a picture of the head of a man representing the top or beginning of something. Combined these mean "seed beginning". Rains in the mountainous areas cause a flooding of the rivers. The rivers swell causing the water to flood the land next to the river. This is the only water that the land will see and is necessary for crop production. After the flood season, the land is plowed by the use of a plow attached to the yoke of the oxen. The surface of the soil is dry but, when the soil is turned up it glistens in the sun from the water remaining in the soil. This water is necessary for the seed to begin germination.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

נִיר to break up the ground (with a plough), Hosea 10:12; Jeremiah 4:3. I consider this root to be sprung from the Hiph. of the verb נוּר (comp. Ewald’s Gramm., § 235), so that prop. it is to make a field shine. Hence מָנוֹר a yoke for plowing, [also נִיר No. 2.]

נִיר m. (from the root נוּר)

(1) i.q. נֵר a lamp, always used figuratively of progeny. 1 Kings 11:36, לְמַעַן הֱיוֹת־נִיר לְדָוִיד־עַבְדִּי כָּל־הַיָּמִים “that David my servant might always have a lamp,” i.e. that his race might continue for ever; compare 15:4 2 Kings 8:19; 2 Chronicles 21:7.

(2) novale, a field newly cultivated; Proverbs 13:23; Jeremiah 4:3; Hosea 10:12 see the root נִיר.
