Mat 24:41 — Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Two		"The [ ( )] was a hand-mill composed of two stones; ""the uppermost of which is turned round by a small handle of wood or iron that is placed in the rim. When this stone is large, or expedition required, a second person is called to assist; and as it is usual for women alone to be concerned in this employment, who seat themselves over against each other with the millstone between then, we may see not only the propriety of the expression, Exd 11:5,"" but the force of this.--Dr. Shaw."
grinding		Exd 11:5; Isa 47:2
