Berean Strong's Lexicon dush: To thresh Original Word: דּוּשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "dush" is "ἀλοάω" (Strong's Greek 248), which also means to thresh or tread. Usage: The Hebrew verb "dush" primarily means "to thresh," which refers to the process of separating grain from the husks and straw. This action was a crucial part of ancient agricultural practices, as it prepared the grain for consumption or storage. Threshing was typically done by spreading the sheaves on a threshing floor and having oxen or other animals tread over them, or by using a threshing sledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, threshing was an essential agricultural activity, often performed after the harvest. The threshing floor was a significant communal space, sometimes used for other social and religious activities. Threshing was symbolic of judgment and separation, as the process involved separating the valuable grain from the worthless chaff. This imagery is frequently used in the Bible to describe God's judgment and purification of His people.
