Usage: The word אִדַּר is used in the context of describing a threshing-floor, a significant agricultural site in ancient times where harvested grain was processed. Context: אִדַּר (iddar) appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. The threshing-floor was a central part of agricultural life in the ancient Near East, serving as the location where grain was separated from chaff. This process was crucial for food production and storage. The term "ample" suggests a spacious and sufficient area for such activities, highlighting the importance of having a large enough space to efficiently carry out the threshing process. In the biblical context, the threshing-floor also holds symbolic significance, often representing judgment or separation, as seen in various prophetic and poetic passages.
