Encyclopedia > Threshing

Threshing is the process of beating cereal plants in order to separate the seeds or grains from the straw. Although once done by hand using a flail, this tiring task is now mostly done by machine. Threshing is one of the many tasks a combine harvester performs, along with harvesting the plant and cleaning the grains.

Threshing (3979 words)
Still, as the work of threshing is never done till the corn is separated altogether from the husk, so chastening and discipline have never accomplished their design till God's people give up every form of evil, and abhor all iniquity.
The threshing instrument is therefore a humbling token, and so long as we feel it we should humble ourselves under the hand of God, for it is clear that we are not yet free from the straw and the chaff of fallen nature.
Threshing is not an operation which the corn requires all the year round; for the most part the flail is idle.
