Usage

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.
