This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:12, where it describes the separation of wheat from chaff, symbolizing judgment and purification. Usage: The term תֶּבֶן (teben) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to straw or stubble, often as a byproduct of threshing grain. It is typically used as fodder for animals or as a material for making bricks. Context: תֶּבֶן (teben) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, primarily in relation to agricultural practices. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' bondage in Egypt, where they were required to gather straw to make bricks (Exodus 5:7). This highlights its use as a binding material in construction. In Isaiah 11:7, תֶּבֶן is used metaphorically to describe the peaceable kingdom, where the lion will eat straw like the ox, indicating a return to a harmonious creation. The term also appears in prophetic literature, such as in Isaiah 47:14, where it symbolizes something easily consumed by fire, illustrating the frailty and impermanence of human endeavors. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, תֶּבֶן was a common and necessary commodity, reflecting the everyday life and labor of the people.
