Ministry on This Verse

+
Two.The [mulon ] 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, Ex 11:5," but the force of this.--Dr. Shaw.grinding.
Ex. 11:5• 5And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. (Ex. 11:5)
;
Isa. 47:2• 2Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. (Isa. 47:2)
• The meaning clearly is that one is taken away judicially, and the other left to enjoy the blessings of Christ's reign (“Remarks on Matthew 24:32-51” by W. Kelly)
