Berean Strong's Lexicon ebus: Threshing floor, stall, manger Original Word: אֵבוּס Word Origin: From the root אָבַס (abas), meaning "to tread down" or "to trample." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5336 (φατνή, phatnē) - Manger, stall Usage: The Hebrew word "ebus" primarily refers to a place where grain is threshed, a threshing floor. It can also denote a stall or manger, a place where animals are fed. The term is used to describe locations where agricultural activities, particularly the processing of grain, take place. In a broader sense, it can symbolize provision and sustenance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the threshing floor was a critical part of agricultural life. It was a flat, hard surface where harvested grain was spread out and threshed to separate the grain from the chaff. This process was essential for food production and was often a communal activity. Threshing floors were sometimes located on elevated ground to take advantage of the wind for winnowing. The term "ebus" also reflects the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites, where livestock played a significant role, and stalls or mangers were common in households and farms.
