(English Standard version @2001) Isaiah 28:27: A heavy sledge is never used to thresh black cumin; rather, it is beaten with a light stick. A threshing wheel is never rolled on cumin; instead, it is beaten lightly with a flail.

Flail: Means to beat or thrash (verb). It derives from the Old French flaiel and its Latin meaning is flagelium (whip) Information located from Biblos bible online and the Scott Foresman Advanced Dictionary, Copyright, 1983, ISBN 0673 12382 0 Page 421.
