Berean Strong's Lexicon Tachani: Millstone Original Word: תַּחֲנִי Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּחַן (tachan), meaning "to grind" or "to crush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3458 μύλος (mylos) - Refers to a millstone in the New Testament, used in contexts such as Matthew 18:6, where it symbolizes severe judgment. Usage: The term "Tachani" refers to a millstone, a tool used in ancient times for grinding grain into flour. It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to signify destruction or judgment, as the grinding process involves breaking down the grain. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, millstones were essential household tools, typically operated by women. They consisted of two stones: a stationary lower stone and a rotating upper stone. The process of grinding grain was labor-intensive and symbolized daily sustenance and provision. Millstones were also significant in legal and economic contexts, as they were considered essential for life and thus protected by law (Deuteronomy 24:6).
