Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַל (naphal), meaning "to fall."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מַפָּל, the concept of chaff is captured in the Greek word ἄχυρον (achyron), which is used in the New Testament to describe the separation of the righteous from the wicked, as seen in passages like Matthew 3:12: "His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor, gathering His wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Usage: The word מַפָּל is used in the context of describing something that falls away or is discarded, such as chaff separated from grain during winnowing. It can also refer to something that hangs loosely or flaps. Context: • The Hebrew term מַפָּל (mappal) is a noun that appears in the context of agricultural processes, particularly in the separation of grain from chaff. In ancient Israelite society, the process of winnowing involved tossing harvested grain into the air so that the wind would carry away the lighter chaff, leaving the heavier grain to fall back to the ground. This imagery is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the separation of the righteous from the wicked or the valuable from the worthless.
