They typically consisted of two stones: a stationary base stone and a rotating upper stone. The process of grinding was labor-intensive and crucial for producing flour, a staple in the diet of ancient Near Eastern cultures. Millstones were so vital that they were often mentioned in legal texts, prohibiting their seizure as collateral (Deuteronomy 24:6).<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3458</b> <i>mýlos</i> – a hand-mill used for grinding grain with a <i>stationary, lower</i> stone, ground against an <i>upper</i> stone that was turned. </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/3457.htm">mulikos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mill, a millstone<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mill (2), millstone (2).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3458: μύλος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μύλος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μύλου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> ((Latin<span class="latin">mola</span>;
