into-plowshares
A metal agricultural implement used for breaking and turning soil, most commonly a plowshare or blade, but in some contexts could refer to a hoe or other digging tool. The term denotes an iron tool essential for tilling fields and, at times, is metaphorically opposed to weapons when instruments of war are described as being turned into instruments of cultivation or vice versa (e.g., plowshare to sword and sword to plowshare).
