<p> ( כְּבָרָה, kebarah, Amos 9:9; נָפָה, naphdh, a winnowing fan, Isaiah 30:28; to "sift" is נוּעִ, nua, or נוּ, to wave [as often rendered], or throw up into the air for winnowing; σινίαζω, Luke 22:31). Among the ancient Egyptians sieves were often made of string, but some of an inferior quality, and for coarse work, were constructed of small thin rushes or reeds (very similar to those used by the Egyptians for writing, and frequently found in the tablets of the scribes); a specimen of which kind of sieve is in the [[Paris]] Museum. The paintings also represent them made of the same materials; and the first they used were evidently of this humble quality, since the hieroglyphic indicating a sieve is borrowed from them. Horse-hair sieves are ascribed by Pliny to the Gauls; the Spaniards, he says, made them of string, and the Egyptians of papyrus stalks and rushes. See Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt. ii, 95. </p> | <p> Isaiah 30:28 (a) The Lord promised in this passage that He would strain out the nations in such a way that all their boastings, pride and vain glory would prove to be of no value whatever, and would not stand His testings and siftings. The Lord thus describes the helplessness of the proud enemies of Israel. </p> <p> Amos 9:9 (a) In this promise the Lord assures [[Israel]] that He will put them through severe testings and will remove all that is not profitable nor righteous nor good from among them, but He will keep the people eventually for Himself. In the final checkup, those of Israel who remain on the earth will hear the Word of GOD and believe His message. (See Romans 11:26). </p> | ||
