millstone in Judges 9
MILL-stohn
This thing shows up in Judges 9:53: “A certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, and broke his skull.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Judges 9:53
“A certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, and broke his skull.”
What kids can learn
When you hear millstone in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
