Strong's Lexicon qash: Stubble, chaff Original Word: קשׁ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to become dry Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G892 (achyron): Chaff, used in the New Testament to describe the separation of the wicked from the righteous, as seen in Matthew 3:12. Usage: The Hebrew word "qash" refers to the dry, brittle stalks left after grain has been harvested, commonly known as stubble or chaff. In the Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe something that is insubstantial, easily destroyed, or worthless. The imagery of chaff is frequently employed to contrast the wicked with the righteous, emphasizing the transient and unstable nature of the wicked. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, the process of threshing involved separating the valuable grain from the worthless chaff. The chaff, being light and insubstantial, was easily blown away by the wind during winnowing. This agricultural practice provided a vivid metaphor for the judgment and separation of the wicked from the righteous, a theme prevalent in biblical literature.
