millstone in Deuteronomy 24
MILL-stohn
This thing shows up in Deuteronomy 24:6: “No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge; for he takes a life in pledge.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Deuteronomy 24:6
“No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge; for he takes a life in pledge.”
