The Hebrew noun yageb refers to cultivated or plowed ground — a field that has been worked and prepared for planting. It is the nominal form related to yagab (to plow). The word appears in Jeremiah 39:10 describing the poorest people left in Judah, who were given vineyards and plowed fields.
The yageb (plowed field) in Jeremiah 39:10 carries profound social and covenantal significance. After Jerusalem's fall, Nebuzaradan gave fields to the poorest people who had nothing — a remarkable act of provision amid catastrophe. The plowed field represents the basic means of survival and dignity. Theologically, the land belongs to God (Leviticus 25:23), and even in judgment, God's provision continues through the earth's fruitfulness for the humble.
