Thematic Bible
Mortar » A vessel for pulverizing substances
The people used to go about and pick it up, and grind it with a pair of mill-stones, or pound it in a mortar, and boil it in a pot, and make it into round cakes, - then was the taste thereof like the taste of a sweet cake made with oil.
Though thou pound a fool in a mortar, amidst grain, with a pestle, his folly, will not depart from him.
