Fan

VIEW:42 DATA:01-04-2020
FAN.—The fan of Scripture (Isa_30:24, Mat_3:12, Luk_3:17) is the five- or six-pronged wooden winnowing-fork, for which see Agriculture, § 3. The corresponding verb is rendered ‘winnow,’ Isa_30:24, Rth_3:2, but ‘fan’ elsewhere (Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] has ‘winnow’ throughout); the fanners of Jer_51:2 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] and Versions) are the ‘winnowers,’ as Amer. RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] . Fanning or winnowing is a frequent figure for the Divine sifting and chastisement, Jer_4:11; Jer_15:7 etc.

A long-handled wooden spade, a "winnowing shovel," used in the East to throw up grain in the air so that the chaff may be separated from the wheat (Mat_3:12).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Fan. A winnowing-shovel, with which grain was thrown up against the wind to be cleansed from the chaff and straw. Isa_30:24; Mat_3:12. A large wooden fork is used at the present day.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


Isa_41:16 (a) GOD would use Israel to blow away their enemies and to have the victory over those who oppressed them.

Jer_4:11 (a) This is not a constructive wind, as when the chaff is fanned out from the wheat, but it is a destructive wind to increase the damage, as when a wind causes the fire to scatter through the forest or to spread from house to house. The enemy would destroy Jerusalem.

Jer_15:7 (b) This represents the great power of GOD's destructive wrath. As one fans a fire in order to make it burn more brightly, so the Lord will watch over His wrath to make it burn more fiercely upon those who forsake Him.

Jer_51:2 (a) The process of punishment is reversed in this Scripture and the enemies of the Jews are being punished themselves. Babylon is conquered and scattered by her enemies. GOD really did wipe out that great city with a destroying wind. (See Jer_51:1).

Luk_3:17 (b) This is descriptive of a farmer who, with his fan and the wind produced by it, separates the chaff from the wheat. So CHRIST will separate those who are His from those who are not, in the great day of judgment. (See also Mat_3:12). The chaff referred to in this passage are those folk who are of no value at all to GOD. (See under "CHAFF").
