Threshing sledge

Threshing sledge


‎Even in the 20th century CE, a so-called threshing sledge was still used for threshing grain in Palestine. It consisted of two front-raised boards put next to each other, with flint stones stuck in holes under the surface of the boards. On this monoski-like threshing board drawn by oxen, one drove the entire day around in a circle over the grain. This way the stone loosened the cereal grain out of the ears.

‎2 Sam 24:22; Job 41:30; Isa 28:27; Amos 1:3
