Threshing



‎In order to separate the edible part of the cereal grain from the stalks and the ears, one either drew a threshing sledge pulled by an ox for days over the grain, or the sheaves were beaten with a wooden flail to loosen the grain.
‎Judg 6:11; 2 Kings 13:7; Josh 10:11; Amos 1:3; Micah 4:13; 1 Cor 9:10
