These Greek terms relate to the concept of threshing and grain processing, reflecting similar agricultural practices in the Greco-Roman world.

Usage: The term דַּיִשׁ (dayish) is used in the context of agricultural practices in ancient Israel, specifically referring to the time or process of threshing grain. It is a significant activity in the agrarian society depicted in the Bible, often associated with harvest and provision.

Context: The Hebrew term דַּיִשׁ (dayish) appears in the context of agricultural practices in ancient Israel, where threshing was a crucial step in the preparation of grain for consumption and trade. Threshing involved spreading the harvested stalks on a threshing floor and using animals or tools to separate the grain from the chaff. This process was essential for ensuring food supply and economic stability in the community.

In the Bible, threshing is often mentioned in relation to God's provision and blessing. For example, in the book of Isaiah, the abundance of grain is a sign of divine favor: "The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork" (Isaiah 30:24, BSB). Threshing-time is also a metaphor for judgment and purification, as seen in prophetic literature where nations are likened to grain being threshed.

The practice of threshing and the associated imagery are deeply embedded in the cultural and religious life of Israel, symbolizing both sustenance and divine intervention. The term דַּיִשׁ (dayish) thus encapsulates both the physical act of threshing and its broader theological implications.
