The Hebrew word רֵחַיִם (reḥayim), meaning "millstone," can be found in passages such as Judges 9:53 and Deuteronomy 24:6, where it is used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. These references highlight the essential role of millstones in daily life and their symbolic use in conveying themes of judgment and consequence. Usage: The term μυλικός is used in the context of describing something related to a millstone, often in a metaphorical sense to convey the idea of a heavy burden or judgment. Context: The Greek term μυλικός appears in the New Testament in contexts that evoke the imagery of a millstone, a large, heavy stone used for grinding grain. This imagery is often employed to illustrate the severity of judgment or the weight of responsibility. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is notably used in Matthew 18:6, where Jesus warns of the grave consequences for those who lead others into sin: "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." |
