Winnowing Grain

Winnowing Grain



‎The three Egyptian farm laborers shown here illustrate one of the final stages in grain production. They are winnowing the combination of grain kernels, chaff, and stalk fragments produced as the oxen tread the threshing floor. Winnowing uses wind to separate the kernels from the chaff. The wind blows the chaff away and the heavier kernels, as well as some other plant fragments, drop straight to the ground, ready for sifting.
‎Ruth 3:2, Isa 21:10, Isa 30:24, Jer 4:11, Luke 3:17

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.
