Strong's Lexicon iddar: Threshing floor, heap Original Word: אִדַּר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be ample or wide. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "iddar," the concept of a threshing floor can be related to Greek terms like "ἅλων" (halon), which also means threshing floor, as seen in Matthew 3:12. Usage: The Hebrew word "iddar" is used to denote a "threshing floor" or a "heap," typically referring to a place where grain is processed and separated from chaff. In biblical times, threshing floors were essential for agricultural societies, serving as a communal space for processing harvests. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, threshing floors were often located on elevated, windy sites to facilitate the winnowing process, where the wind would carry away the lighter chaff, leaving the heavier grain. These sites were not only agricultural centers but also held social and religious significance. They were sometimes used as places of judgment or divine encounters, as seen in the account of David purchasing the threshing floor of Araunah (2 Samuel 24:18-25).
