Sifting Grain


Sifting Grain



‎This image illustrates the final stage of grain processing before storage. A female laborer sifts grain with a large sieve. The clean grain drops through the sieve while the remaining plant fragments, pebbles, and other debris get caught in the mesh. The clean grain is then gathered up and stored. Jesus predicted that Satan would trouble and test his disciples so rigorously that it would be as if he were shaking and sorting them like a person sifts grain (Luke 22:31).
Isa 30:28, Amos 9:9, Luke 22:31

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
