Strong's Lexicon morag: Threshing sledge Original Word: מוֹרַג Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to crush Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "morag" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew agricultural term. However, the concept of threshing is present in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:12, where the process of separating wheat from chaff is mentioned. Usage: The term "morag" refers to a threshing sledge, an agricultural implement used in ancient times for threshing grain. It was typically a heavy wooden platform with sharp stones or metal pieces embedded underneath. The sledge was dragged over harvested grain to separate the kernels from the chaff. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern agriculture, threshing sledges were essential tools for processing grain. The use of a "morag" was a common practice in Israel and surrounding regions. The sledge would be pulled by animals over a threshing floor, a flat, hard surface where the grain was spread out. This method was efficient for large quantities of grain and was a critical step in the agricultural cycle, ensuring food supply for the community.
