Tribulation
Isaiah 28:26-29
For his God does instruct him to discretion, and does teach him.…


comes from the word "Tribulum," and tribulum means a threshing instrument. Whatever the man used who was treating the growth in its latest phases was called a tribulum, and he tribulated the harvest into bread. The seed did not go from the field into the oven; it had to undergo the action of the tribulum. Watch it there: what is that seed now undergoing! Tribulation. This is the bread that came out of much tribulating, tribulation, tearing asunder, shaking, beating.

(J. Parker, D. D.)
