Strong's Lexicon medushshah: Threshing, Trampling Original Word: מְדֻשָּׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּשׁ (dush), meaning "to thresh" or "to trample." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for threshing is "ἁλοάω" (haloao), which also means to thresh or to tread. Usage: The term "medushshah" refers to the process or act of threshing, which involves separating grain from chaff by trampling or beating. In a broader sense, it can also imply the act of trampling or crushing underfoot. This word is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe judgment or destruction, where nations or individuals are "threshed" by divine action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, threshing was a critical agricultural process. After harvesting, grain was spread on a threshing floor, and animals or threshing sledges were used to separate the edible grain from the husks and straw. This imagery was familiar to the Israelites and often used by prophets to convey messages of judgment or purification. The threshing floor was also a place of social and economic activity, symbolizing sustenance and provision.
