Grind:
(Exd 32:20; Deu 9:21; Jdg 16:21), to crush small (Heb. tahan); to oppress the poor (Isa 3:5). The hand-mill was early used by the Hebrews (Num 11:8). It consisted of two stones, the upper (Deu 24:6; 2Sa 11:21) being movable and slightly concave, the lower being stationary. The grinders mentioned Ecc 12:3 are the teeth. (See MILL.)
