sn35.248:1.2 Then six people would come along carrying flails,
sn35.248:1.3 and start threshing the sheaf of barley.
sn35.248:1.4 So that sheaf of barley would be thoroughly threshed by those six flails.
sn35.248:1.5 Then a seventh person would come along carrying a flail,
sn35.248:1.6 and they’d give the sheaf of barley a seventh threshing.
