It is often used metaphorically to describe the process of wearing down or eroding over time. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to the physical act of grinding grain or the metaphorical wearing away of strength or power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, grinding grain was a daily task, typically performed by women using a hand mill or a larger millstone. This process was essential for producing flour for bread, a staple in the diet. The imagery of grinding or wearing away would have been familiar to the original audience, symbolizing both the mundane aspects of daily life and the inevitable passage of time that erodes strength and vitality.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to rub away, beat fine, pulverize<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beat (1), beat them fine (1), pulverized (1), wears away (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שָׁחַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rub away, beat fine, pulverize</b></font> (so Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb100613.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb100614.gif"> <em>worn garment, thin clouds</em>;
