Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, millstones were essential tools for daily life, used in households and by professional millers to grind grain. They typically consisted of two stones: a stationary base stone and a rotating upper stone. The process of grinding was labor-intensive and crucial for producing flour, a staple in the diet of ancient Near Eastern cultures. Millstones were so vital that they were often mentioned in legal texts, prohibiting their seizure as collateral (Deuteronomy 24:6).
