Pestle:
pes'-'l (eli): A rounded implement of wood or stone used for pounding, bruising, or powdering materials in a mortar. Used only in Pr 27:22. The assonance of Cs:greekIt+loimosIT-/ CS and Cs:greekIt+limosIT-/ CS in these passages (Cs:greekIt+loimosIT-/ CS is omitted in the Revised Version (British and American) passage for Mt) occurs in several classical passages, e.g. Herodotus vii.171. The pestilence is said to walk in darkness (Ps 91:6) on account of its sudden onset out of obscurity not associated with any apparent cause.
See MORTAR
