In a broader sense, it can imply the act of trampling or crushing. This term is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the process of judgment or purification, where the good is separated from the bad.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient agrarian societies, threshing was a crucial step in the harvest process. It involved spreading harvested grain on a threshing floor and using oxen or other animals to tread over it, separating the edible grain from the husks and straw. This imagery was familiar to the original biblical audience and often used metaphorically in Scripture to describe divine judgment or the refining process of God's people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/257.htm">halón</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to thresh<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>thresher (1), threshing (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 248: ἀλοάω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀλοάω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ῶ</span>; (connected with <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">ἅλως</span> or <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">ἀλωή</span>, the floor on which grain is trodden or threshed out); <span class="accented">to thresh,</span> (Ammon. <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">ἅλω</span> <span class="greek2">πατεῖν</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">τρίβειν</span> <span class="greek2">τάς</span> <span class="greek2">στάχυας</span>): <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/9.htm">1 Corinthians 9</a>:(9),10; <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-18.htm">1 Timothy 5:18</a> (<a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/25-4.htm">Deuteronomy 25:4</a>).
