However, the concept of threshing is present in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:12, where the process of separating wheat from chaff is mentioned.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "morag" refers to a threshing sledge, an agricultural implement used in ancient times for threshing grain. It was typically a heavy wooden platform with sharp stones or metal pieces embedded underneath. The sledge was dragged over harvested grain to separate the kernels from the chaff.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern agriculture, threshing sledges were essential tools for processing grain. The use of a "morag" was a common practice in Israel and surrounding regions. The sledge would be pulled by animals over a threshing floor, a flat, hard surface where the grain was spread out. This method was efficient for large quantities of grain and was a critical step in the agricultural cycle, ensuring food supply for the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a threshing sled<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>threshing sledge (1), threshing sledges (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">מוֺרֶג</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 41:15</sup> <font size="+1"><b>threshing-sledge</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <em>id.</em>, South Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055806.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055807.gif">, Frä<sup>133</sup>, compare Ba<sup>ZA ii.117</sup> (loan-word in Arabic = <em>ploughshare</em>); modern <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055808.gif"> Dozy<sup>ii. 623, and</sup> <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055809.gif"> Wetzst<sup>Z.für Ethnol. 1873, 270 ff.</sup>, Anderlind<sup>ZPV ix. 41 f.</sup> (<em>ploughshare</em> and <em>harrow</em>,)); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/41-15.htm">Isaiah 41:15</a>; plural <font class="hebrew2">מֹרִגִּים</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/24-22.htm">2 Samuel 24:22</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">כְּלֵי הַבָּקָר</font>); <font class="hebrew2">מוֺרִגִּים</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/21-23.htm">1 Chronicles 21:23</a>; — <em>threshing-sledges</em> of Araunah, given by him to David for wood of sacrifice <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/24-22.htm">2 Samuel 24:22</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/21-23.htm">1 Chronicles 21:23</a>; figurative of Israel as instrument of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>'s judgment <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/41-15.htm">Isaiah 41:15</a>.
