Strong's Lexicon goren: Threshing floor Original Word: גֹּרֶן Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to smooth or thresh Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G257: ἅλων (halon) - threshing floor Usage: The Hebrew word "goren" refers to a threshing floor, a flat surface where grain is separated from chaff. In biblical times, threshing floors were essential for agricultural processes, serving as a place where harvested grain was prepared for use. The term is used both literally and metaphorically in the Bible, symbolizing judgment, blessing, and provision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, threshing floors were typically located on elevated, windy sites to facilitate the winnowing process, where the wind would blow away the lighter chaff, leaving the heavier grain. Threshing floors were communal spaces, often shared by multiple families or communities. They were also significant in religious and social contexts, sometimes serving as venues for important events and transactions.
