Where it appears

Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 2:35 קַ֔יִט summer

    Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

    Here: 'Of summer': the dry harvest season when threshing and winnowing happened and the chaff was at its lightest.
