A HAND-MILL — the pair of stones every household ground its flour with, a dual noun in Hebrew like hands and eyes; rekhev, the rider, is the upper stone that turns on the lower. Read out from hits that are also the months of the year and the sons of Korah, the noun stands in five verses of the Hebrew Bible: the slave girl behind the millstones at Exodus 11:5, the manna ground in mills at Numbers 11:8, the mill that may not be taken in pledge at Deuteronomy 24:6 because it is a life, Babylon's daughter told to take the millstones and grind meal at Isaiah 47:2 (not yet on these pages), and the sound of the millstones that God will silence with the voice of the bridegroom and the light of the lamp at Jeremiah 25:10. Flour was ground fresh each morning; take the mill and the house does not eat. ⚠ The upper stone alone is the pelach rekhev a woman drops on Abimelech's head at Judges 9:53 (not yet on these pages). The KJV prints 'the nether or the upper millstone', supplying the lower stone; the NIV 'a pair of millstones—not even the upper one'; the RV60 «la muela del molino, ni la de abajo ni la de arriba». → first discussed at Deut 24:6
