What does the word 'chaff' mean in the Bible?
Chaff is the husk or material covering the seed. Hull, etc. Bits and pieces that are lighter than the seed and carried away by a sifting process. It means the same in the Bible. Most of the time, though, Bible writers were using it as an analogy. That is, they were making a comparison between someone's or some other nation's actions to chaff blowing away in the wind. In Bible times, chaff was separated from the grain by tossing the threshed heads into the air when there was a breeze, and allowing the wind to separate the chaff and grain. It's a practice still followed in the undeveloped and sometimes developing world.
