This Greek term captures the essence of separation and testing, akin to the Hebrew concept of sifting with a sieve. Usage: The term כְּבָרָה appears in the context of agricultural practices, specifically in the process of sifting grain to remove chaff and impurities. Context: The Hebrew word כְּבָרָה (kevarah) is a noun that refers to a sieve, an essential tool in ancient agricultural societies. The sieve was used to separate grain from chaff, a process crucial for preparing grain for consumption or storage. The act of sifting was symbolic in biblical literature, often representing the separation of good from bad or pure from impure. The sieve's function is metaphorically significant in illustrating divine judgment or discernment, where the righteous are distinguished from the wicked.
