Luke 9:62 - "Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’ "

A plowman, simply, was one who used or held the plow; husbandmen and plowmen are used synonymously in the Scriptures. The plowman was a farmer in general. The plow now used by Arabs in Palestine, which is very similar to the biblical plow, is lightly built, with the least possible skill or expense, and consists of two poles, which cross each other near the ground; the pole nearer the oxen is fastened to the yoke, while the other serves, the one end as the handle, the other as the plowshare. It is drawn by oxen, camels, cows, or heifers. The operator of this instrument is a plowman.
