The [mulon [] was a hand-mill composed
of two stones; "the uppermost of which is turned round by a
small handle of wood or iron that is placed in the rim. When
this stone is large, or expedition required, a second person
is called to assist; and as it is usual for women alone to be
concerned in this employment, who seat themselves over against
each other with the millstone between then, we may see not
only the propriety of the expression, Ex 11:5," but the force
of this.--Dr. Shaw.
