Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two. The [mulon] was a hand-mill composed of two stones; 'the uppermost of which is turned round by a small handle of wood or iron that is placed in the rim.

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
