Strong's Lexicon dush or dish: To thresh Original Word: דּוּשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G248 (aléo): To thresh, to tread out grain - G3039 (loúo): To wash, often used metaphorically for cleansing or purification, similar to the refining aspect of threshing Usage: The Hebrew verb "dush" primarily means "to thresh," which refers to the agricultural process of separating grain from the husks or straw. This action is typically performed by beating or trampling the harvested crop. In the biblical context, "dush" is often used metaphorically to describe acts of judgment or oppression, as well as the process of refinement and purification. Cultural and Historical Background: Threshing was a crucial part of ancient Near Eastern agriculture. It involved spreading the harvested stalks on a threshing floor and using animals or tools to separate the edible grain from the chaff. This process was essential for food production and was a common sight in agrarian societies. Threshing floors were often communal spaces and held significant social and economic importance. The imagery of threshing is frequently used in the Bible to convey themes of judgment, separation, and purification.
