Topical Encyclopedia

Threshing is an agricultural process mentioned frequently in the Bible, integral to the agrarian society of ancient Israel. It involves the separation of grain from the husks and straw, a necessary step in the preparation of harvested crops such as wheat and barley. The process of threshing is rich in symbolic meaning throughout Scripture, often used metaphorically to describe judgment, purification, and the separation of good from evil.

Biblical Practices and Methods

In biblical times, threshing was typically performed on a threshing floor, a flat, hard surface where harvested grain was spread out. Oxen or other animals would often be used to tread over the grain, or a threshing sledge might be employed. The sledge, a wooden implement with sharp stones or metal attached to its underside, would be dragged over the grain to separate the kernels from the chaff. The prophet Isaiah references this method: "Behold, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff" (Isaiah 41:15).

Symbolism and Metaphors

Threshing is frequently used in the Bible as a metaphor for divine judgment and the purification of God's people. The process of separating wheat from chaff is likened to God's judgment, where the righteous are distinguished from the wicked. In the New Testament, John the Baptist uses this imagery to describe the coming ministry of Jesus: "His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:12).

The imagery of threshing also appears in the context of God's deliverance and the triumph of His people over their enemies. In the book of Micah, the Lord promises Israel victory over its foes: "Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron; I will give you hooves of bronze, and you will break to pieces many peoples" (Micah 4:13).

Cultural and Religious Significance

Threshing floors held significant cultural and religious importance in ancient Israel. They were often located on elevated ground to take advantage of the wind for winnowing, the process of further separating the grain from the chaff. Threshing floors were sometimes used as places of worship and divine encounter. Notably, the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite became the site of Solomon's Temple after King David purchased it to build an altar to the Lord (2 Samuel 24:18-25).

Conclusion

The practice of threshing, while a common agricultural activity, is imbued with deep spiritual significance in the Bible. It serves as a powerful metaphor for judgment, purification, and the ultimate triumph of God's righteousness. Through the imagery of threshing, Scripture communicates profound truths about the nature of God's justice and the destiny of His people.

Threshing

Was anciently and is still performed in the East, sometimes with a flail,

Ruth 2:17 Isaiah 28:27; sometimes by treading out the grain with unmuzzled oxen, De 25:4, but more generally by means of oxen dragging an uncouth instrument over the sheaves of grain. SeeCORN.

The instrument most used in Palestine at this time is simply two short planks fastened side by side and turned up in front, like our common stone-sledge, having sharp stones or irons projecting from the under side,Isaiah 28:27 41:15 Am 1:3. The Egyptian mode is thus described by Niebuhr: "They use oxen, as the ancients did, to beat out their corn, by trampling upon the sheaves, and dragging after them a clumsy machine. This machine is not, as in Arabia, a stone cylinder, nor a plank with sharp stones, as in Syria, but a sort of sledge, consisting of three rollers fitted with irons, which turn upon axles. A farmer chooses out a level spot in his fields, and has his corn carried thither in sheaves, upon asses or dromedaries. Two oxen are then yoked in a sledge; a driver gets upon it, and drives them backward and forward upon the sheaves; and fresh oxen succeed in the yoke from time to time." By this operation, the straw is gradually chopped fine and the grain released. Meanwhile the whole is repeatedly turned over by wooden pitchforks with three or more prongs, and in due time thrown into a heap in the center of the floor. The machine thus described is called a moreg, and answers to the Hebrew morag mentioned in2 Samuel 24:22 1 Chronicles 21:23.

When the grain is well loosened from the straw by the treading of oxen, with or without one of the instruments above mentioned, the whole heap is next thrown with forks several yards against the wind, which blowing away the chaff, the grain falls into a heap by itself,2 Kings 13:7; and if necessary, the process is repeated. For this purpose the threshing-floors are in the open air, Jud 6:37, and often on high ground, like that of Araunah on Mount Moriah,1 Chronicles 21:15, that the wind may aid more effectually in winnowing the grain,Jeremiah 4:11-12, which is afterwards sometimes passed through a sieve for farther cleansing. The ground is prepared for use as a threshing-floor by being smoothed off, and beaten down hard. While the wheat was carefully garnered, the straw and chaff were gathered up for fuel; a most instructive illustration of the day of judgment,Matthew 3:12.

NACON, THE THRESHING FLOOR OF

na'-kon, (nakhon; the King James Version Nachon): The place where Uzzah was smitten for putting forth his hand to steady the ark, hence, called afterward "Perezuzzah" (2 Samuel 6:8); in the parallel passage (1 Chronicles 13:9) we have kidhon, and in Josephus (Ant., VII, iv, 2) Cheidon. In1 Samuel 23:23 the word nakhon occurs, and is translated "of a certainty," margin "with the certainty" or "to a set place"; also in1 Samuel 26:4 it is translated "of a certainty," margin "to a set place." It is uncertain whether in1 Samuel 6:6 it is a place-name at all; and no successful attempt has been made to identify either Nacon or Chidon; possibly they are both personal names.

THRESHING

thresh'-ing (dush; aloao): Dush means literally, "to trample out." InJeremiah 51:33, darakh, is used of threshing. Fitches and cummin were beaten off with a rod. The distinction between beating and threshing is made inIsaiah 28:27. Gideon, in order to avoid being seen by the Midianites, beat out his wheat in a wine press instead of threshing it on the threshing-floor (Judges 6:11). For a general description of the threshing operations see AGRICULTURE.

Figurative: "Thou shalt thresh the mountains," i.e. thou wilt overcome great difficulties (Isaiah 41:15). Babylon's destruction was foretold poetically in the language of the threshing-floor (Isaiah 21:10 Jeremiah 51:33 Daniel 2:35); Zion's foes would be gathered as sheaves on the threshing-floor (Micah 4:12, 13; compare2 Kings 13:7 Amos 1:3 Habakkuk 3:12); threshing unto the vintage, i.e. throughout the summer, indicated an extra abundant yield (Leviticus 26:5).
