Strong's Lexicon adash: To tread, to thresh Original Word: אָדַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of threshing is "ἀλοάω" (G248), which also means to thresh or to tread. Usage: The Hebrew verb "adash" primarily means to tread or to thresh. In the agricultural context of ancient Israel, threshing was the process of separating grain from the husks and straw. This was typically done by spreading the sheaves on a threshing floor and having oxen or other animals walk over them, or by using a threshing sledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, threshing was a vital part of the agricultural cycle. It was a communal activity often accompanied by celebration, as it marked the successful gathering of the harvest. The threshing floor was not only a place of work but also a social and sometimes religious gathering place. The process of threshing is frequently used metaphorically in the Bible to describe judgment or purification, as the grain is separated from the chaff.
