For example, the Greek word "διασκορπίζω" (diaskorpizō, Strong's G1287) means "to scatter" and is used in contexts that convey separation and judgment, similar to the Hebrew concept.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "mizreh" refers to an agricultural tool used in the process of winnowing, which involves separating grain from chaff. This tool is typically a fork or shovel used to toss harvested grain into the air, allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaff while the heavier grain falls back to the ground. In a biblical context, "mizreh" is often used metaphorically to describe God's judgment and purification process, where He separates the righteous from the wicked.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The process of winnowing was crucial for preparing grain for consumption and trade. The winnowing fork or shovel was a common tool in this agrarian society, and its imagery would have been familiar to the original audience of the biblical texts. The act of winnowing symbolized discernment and separation, themes that are prevalent in biblical teachings about God's justice and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2219.htm">zarah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a pitchfork<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fork (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִזְרֶה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>pitch-fork</b></font>, with six prongs (= <img src="/bdbgif/bdb028001.gif">) used in winnowing, compare Wetzst<sup>ZPV 1891, xiv. 2</sup>;
