Hypertext Webster Gateway: "earing"
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)
Earing
an Old English word (from the Latin aro, I plough), meaning
"ploughing." It is used in the Authorized Version in Gen. 45:6;
Ex. 34:21; 1 Sam. 8:12; Deut. 21:4; Isa. 30:24; but the Revised
Version has rendered the original in these places by the
ordinary word to plough or till.
