Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
All refuse of threshed and winnowed grain, not merely the outer covering as with us. Image of all worthless doctrine, and vain counsels, and hollow professors, about to perish utterly. Jer_23:28; "What is the chaff to the wheat?" God answers the objection, What must we do when lies are spoken as truths and prophets oppose prophets? Do as you would with wheat mixed with chaff; do not reject the wheat, because of the chaff mixed with it, but bring both to the test of "My word" (Jer_23:27; Jer_23:29); so discriminate as to what to reject, and what to keep.
My word, which is wheat or food to the true prophet and his hearers, is a consuming "fire" to the "chaff," i.e. false prophets, their followers and doctrine. (Psa_1:4; Isa_33:11; Isa_17:13; Hos_13:3; Mat_3:12.) Chaff is separated from the grain, after having been threshed, on high threshing floors on hills, to earth the wind. So the final doom of the world powers before the coming manifested kingdom of Messiah (Dan_2:35). "(Before) the day pass as the chaff" in Zep_2:2 means, Before the day of repentance pass, and with it you, ungodly, pass away as the chaff.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Chaff. The husk of corn or wheat which was separated from the grain, by being thrown into the air, the wind blowing away the chaff, while the grain was saved. The carrying away of chaff by the wind is an ordinary scriptural image of the destruction of the wicked and of their powerlessness to resist God's judgments. Psa_1:4; Isa_17:13; Hos_13:3; Zep_2:2.

chaf: Four different words have been translated ?chaff? in the Old Testament:
(1) מוץ, mōc, is found in Job_21:18; Psa_1:4; Psa_35:5; Isa_17:13; Isa_29:5; Isa_41:15; Hos_13:3; Zep_2:2.
(2) חשׁשׁ, ḥăshash, occurs in two verses (Isa_5:24 and Isa_33:11). Compare ?ḥashı̄sh,? an Arabic word which, as commonly used, denotes grass either standing or cut, green or dry, although, strictly speaking, dry or cut grass alone. In the Revised Version (British and American) Isa_5:24 the translation is ?dry grass.?
(3) תּבן, tebhen, is translated ?chaff? in the King James Version (Jer_23:28). The same word is rendered ?straw? in the Revised Version (British and American) (compare Arabic tibn).
(4) אוּר, 'ūr, a Chaldaic word, occurs in Dan_2:35.
In the New Testament ἄχυρον, áchuron, is found in Mat_3:12 and Luk_3:17.
In the process of winnowing, as it has been carried on in the East for thousands of years, the grain is tossed into the air so that the wind may cause a separation of chaff and straw. The light husks from the wheat and fine particles of straw are dispersed by the wind in the form of a fine dust; the heavier straw which has been broken into short pieces by the threshing process falls near at hand on the edge of the threshing-floor, while the grain falls back upon the pile. In Syria and Palestine, that which falls near at hand as cut straw is called tibn. This word occurs in the Arabic translation of Mat_3:12 and Luk_3:17. This straw is ordinarily saved and fed as ?roughage? to the animals. It could easily be gathered and burned, as indicated in the above-mentioned verses, while the chaff is blown away beyond recovery, a strong figure to depict complete annihilation (Job_21:18; Isa_29:5; Isa_41:16; Hos_13:3, Dan_2:35). See AGRICULTURE; STRAW; WINNOWING.

Chaff, the refuse of winnowed corn. It is used as a symbol for unprofitable and worthless characters (Psa_1:4; Mat_3:12).
The Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature
by John Kitto.
Job_21:18 (a) As chaff has no value to the farmer, so the wicked have no value to GOD. Because they are worthless and are not stable, nor useful in GOD's program of life, they must be sent to the fire.
Psa_1:4 (b) Here we have a type of certain kinds of people who have no value to GOD because of their wickedness. As chaff contains no chemicals that can be used by the farmer in any way, so the wicked are lacking in any value to GOD, and so are shut out from GOD's presence because of their worthlessness (See Mat_3:12).
Isa_33:11 (a) By this term the Lord reveals to us how worthless to Him are the ideas, schemes, and programs of the religious movements of this world.
Jer_23:28 (a) This is a symbol of the worthlessness of men's dreams and their idle reasonings. GOD makes foolish the wisdom of this world (See also 1Co_3:19).

Chaff
(properly מוֹוֹ, mots; ἄχυρον), the refuse of winnowed grain, separated by the breeze, and consisting of hushand broken straw. It was the custom in the East to burn the chaff after winnowing. There was danger lest, after they had been separated, the chaff should be blown again among the wheat by the changing of the wind, and to prevent this they put fire to it at the windward side, which crept on and continued to burn till it had consumed all the chaff (Psa_83:13; Isa_5:4; Mat_3:12). SEE AGRICULTURE.
The word rendered "chaff" in Isa_5:24; Isa_33:11, is חֲשִׁשׁ(chashash´), and means rather dried grass or hay. In Jer_23:28, it is (תֶּבֶן), elsewhere "straw." In Exo_5:12, we read of קִשׁ לִתֶּבֶן, stubble for straw; so that it is not the same as stubble. It means straw cut into small portions, in which state it was mixed with the mud of which bricks were made to give it consistency. SEE STRAW. In 1Ki_4:28, mention is made of a mixed provender for horses and camels of barley and תֶּבֶן, such as the Arabs call tibn to this day. In Dan_2:35, the term is the Chaldee עוּר(ur). SEE THRESHING.
Chaff in the Scriptures is a frequent emblem of abortive wickedness (Psa_1:4; Mat_3:12, etc.). False doctrines are. called chaff; they are unproductive, and cannot abide the trial of the word and Spirit of God (Jer_23:28). SEE BAPTISM OF FIRE. The carrying away of chaff by the wind is an ordinary scriptural image of the destruction of the wicked, and of their powerlessness to resist God's judgments (Isa_17:13; Hos_13:3; Zep_2:2).
