GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Field
In scripture, an open area of land used for cultivation or pasture. It often symbolizes the world and its peoples.
The field is the world, Matt. 13: 38. The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field, Matt. 13: 44. I beheld a large and spacious field, 1 Ne. 8: 9, 20. The field was ripe, Alma 26: 5. The field is white already to harvest, D&C 4: 4 (D&C 6: 3; 11: 3; 12: 3; 14: 3; 31: 4; 33: 3, 7). The field was the world, D&C 86: 1-2. I will liken these kingdoms unto a man having a field, D&C 88: 51.
