1. What\u2019s happening in this scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello, this is Makoto Fukui, Director of the Open Bible Commons<\/strong>. In this post from Season 6 of our Bible Reading Blog, I\u2019d like to take a closer look at the \u201cupper millstone\u201d mentioned in Judges chapter 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Judges 9 contains one of the most shocking scenes in the Bible. Abimelek, son of Gideon, driven by his ambition to become king, commits a horrifying act\u2014he kills his seventy brothers on a single stone (Judges 9:5). Later, he betrays the people of Shechem, destroys their city, and burns alive those who flee to a tower. But in the end, when he attacks another tower, we read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelek\u2019s head and cracked his skull.\u201d (Judges 9:53)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Wait\u2014what? A millstone? On a battlefield? Why would such a household item be there? The answer lies in the deeper symbolism unique to Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Hebrew Meaning and Symbolism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The original Hebrew phrase is \u05e4\u05b6\u05bc\u05a3\u05dc\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05e8\u05b6\u0594\u05db\u05b6\u05d1 (pelek rekhev)<\/strong>, which literally means \u201cthe rotating upper part of a millstone.\u201d It refers to the top stone used to grind grain, rotated over a fixed lower stone. This is not a weapon\u2014it\u2019s a domestic tool used in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Scholars\u2019 Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keil & Delitzsch note that this \u201cupper millstone\u201d is clearly a household item, not a weapon, and its use here is symbolic, not accidental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John Gill interprets this as \u201cretributive justice\u201d<\/strong>\u2014Abimelek killed his brothers on a stone, and now he dies by a stone. It\u2019s a poetic form of divine justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dale Ralph Davis adds that God uses unexpected means\u2014a nameless woman and a household tool\u2014to bring down a proud ruler.<\/strong> This shows that God\u2019s judgment operates beyond human power and expectation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Why a Millstone? Theological Symbolism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This story reveals the Bible\u2019s theme of divine reversal<\/strong>\u2014God overturns human pride and injustice in surprising ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt would be better for someone to have a large millstone hung around their neck and be drowned\u2026\u201d 5. Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cupper millstone\u201d wasn\u2019t just lying around\u2014it was a symbol of God\u2019s heavy and inescapable justice<\/strong>. Abimelek\u2019s death is a powerful narrative irony: the man who killed with a stone is killed by one. It reminds us that God\u2019s judgment will always be fulfilled<\/strong>, often in ways we least expect. –Dr. Makoto<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. \u3069\u3093\u306a\u5834\u9762\uff1f \u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f\u3001\u307f\u3093\u306a\u306e\u8056\u66f8\u5b66\u820e\u5b66\u9662\u9577\u306e\u798f\u4e95\u8aa0\u3067\u3059\u3002\u4eca\u56de\u306f\u3001\u8056\u66f8\u901a\u8aad\u30d6\u30ed\u30b0\u306e\u3010\u7b2c6\u30b7 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-8","category-12"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=889"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":944,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889\/revisions\/944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n

Abimelek killed with a stone; he dies by a stone. This reflects the Old Testament principle of justice: punishment fitting the crime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A millstone normally sustains life by grinding grain. Here, it takes life. This symbolizes how sin can twist blessings into curses\u2014and how God can reverse their purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Millstones are heavy. Once dropped, there\u2019s no escape. Jesus echoes this in Matthew 18:6:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
This speaks to the seriousness of sin and judgment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
The head symbolizes authority. Abimelek\u2019s skull being crushed marks the end of his illegitimate rule. It also echoes Genesis 3:15, where the woman\u2019s offspring crushes the serpent\u2019s head\u2014pointing to the ultimate defeat of evil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
