Strong's Lexicon geresh: Threshing floor, expulsion, casting out Original Word: גֶּרֶשׁ Word Origin: From the root verb גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts includes ἀποβάλλω (apoballō - G1544), meaning "to cast out" or "to throw away." Usage: The term "geresh" primarily refers to the act of expulsion or driving out. It is often used in the context of agricultural practices, specifically referring to a threshing floor where grain is separated from chaff. The word can also imply a broader sense of casting out or banishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the threshing floor was a significant agricultural site where harvested grain was processed. It was typically a flat, hard surface where grain was spread out and threshed to separate the edible parts from the husks. Threshing floors were often located on elevated ground to take advantage of the wind for winnowing. The concept of expulsion or driving out is also deeply rooted in the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites, reflecting themes of purity, judgment, and separation.
