Morag is an ancient and unique Hebrew name with deep agricultural significance rooted in the biblical and farming culture of the Jewish people. The word 'morag' refers to a traditional agricultural tool used for threshing grain - the process of separating kernels from the stalks after harvest. The threshing sledge was typically made of wood with sharp teeth of iron or stone, and was dragged by animals over scattered grain on the threshing floor. This tool was essential to agricultural life in the ancient Middle East, representing the profound connection between humans and the land, between toil and sustenance. In the Bible, the threshing sledge appears as a symbol of strength and power. The prophet Isaiah uses the image of a new, sharp threshing sledge to describe the might of the people of Israel: 'Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth' (Isaiah 41:15). This imagery conveys a message of renewal, of inner strength capable of breaking through and crushing obstacles. The name Morag carries this dual meaning - on one hand, it represents the hard work and dedication of the farmer, and on the other, it symbolizes inner strength, the ability to face difficulties and transform them into fertility and abundance. As a personal name, Morag has become more popular in recent decades, especially among families seeking a unique name with authentic Hebrew roots. The name is suitable for both boys and girls, carrying values of hard work, perseverance, and connection to the land and Jewish agricultural tradition. In the modern era, when many seek to return to roots and traditional values, a name like Morag represents a bridge between past and future - it recalls the long journey of the Jewish people from simple agricultural life to the modern age, while maintaining cultural identity and heritage.

Isaiah 41:15 - Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff

In Kabbalah, the threshing sledge symbolizes the process of spiritual refinement and purification. Just as the threshing sledge separates the grain from the chaff, so too must a person separate good from evil, sacred from profane. The name carries energy of transformation and change, of the ability to convert difficulties into spiritual growth.
