Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to smooth or to thresh.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2149: ἅλων (halōn) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to a threshing-floor, paralleling the Hebrew גֹּרֶן. It appears in contexts that similarly emphasize separation and judgment, such as in Matthew 3:12, where John the Baptist speaks of the Messiah's winnowing fork and the gathering of wheat into the barn.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term גֹּרֶן, illustrating its significance in both the agricultural and spiritual life of ancient Israel.

Usage: The term גֹּרֶן is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a flat, open space where harvested grain is threshed and winnowed. It is often associated with agricultural practices and is sometimes used metaphorically.

Context: • The threshing-floor, גֹּרֶן, was a vital part of ancient agricultural life in Israel. It was typically a flat, hard surface, often located on elevated ground to take advantage of the wind for winnowing. The process involved spreading the harvested grain on the floor and using tools or animals to separate the grain from the chaff.
• Threshing-floors were not only agricultural sites but also held social and religious significance. They were places of communal activity and sometimes served as venues for significant biblical events. For example, the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite became the site for Solomon's Temple (2 Samuel 24:18-25).
• In the narrative of Ruth, the threshing-floor is a setting for a pivotal scene between Ruth and Boaz (Ruth 3:2-14), highlighting its role as a place of both labor and social interaction.
• The term is used metaphorically in prophetic literature to describe judgment and purification, as the process of threshing separates the valuable grain from the worthless chaff (e.g., Isaiah 21:10).
