Definition: to grind grain in a mill

Notes: In OET LUK 17:35 and also in OET MAT 24:41 the reference is evidently to a hand mill, which was normally operated by two women working together. In societies in which such mills are not known, translators have frequently substituted the process of pounding grain by means of a mortar and pestle.
