STRONGS G3039:
λικμάω,
λικμῷ: future
λικμήσω; (
λιμός a winnowing-van);
1. to winnow, cleanse away the chaff from grain by winnowing (
Homer,
Xenophon,
Plutarch, others; the
Sept.).
2. in a sense unknown to secular authors,
to scatter (opposed to
συνάγω,
Jeremiah 31:10 (or
Jeremiah 38); add,
Isaiah 17:13;
Amos 9:9).
3. to crush to pieces, grind to powder:
τινα,
Matthew 21:44 (
R G L brackets
WH brackets);
Luke 20:18; cf.
Daniel 2:44 (
Theod.); Wis. 11:19 (18). (But in Daniel, the passage cited it represents the Aphel of
סוּף,
finem facere, and on Sap. l. c. see Grimm. Many decline to follow the rendering of the
Vulg. (
conterere, comminuere), but refer the examples under this head to the preceding.)
