his plowing
Period, activity, or process of ploughing or tilling land; especially the season or act of preparing land for sowing by turning over the soil with a plough. The term connotes the agricultural activity fundamental to crop cultivation in ancient agrarian societies, and may refer to the event itself, the time designated for this action, or, less commonly, the land being worked. It does not denote the harvest or sowing itself, but specifically the preparatory step of loosening the soil.
