'Ground' in the Bible

Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s consent.

Others fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.

Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop: some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.

And the one sown on rocky ground—this is one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

But the one sown on the good ground—this is one who hears and understands the word, who does bear fruit and yields: some 100, some 60, some 30 times what was sown.”

After commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground,

But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’
