Hey everyone <!-- s

37 ???As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they didn???t know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be lead away (dabar) and one will be let alone; 41 two women grinding (literally "turning") at the mill, one will be lead away (dabar) and one will be let alone.
Dabar doesn't just mean "to lead away" it also means "to plough" and "to drive" like one drives a horse on a cart. <!-- s

Women at the grinding mill also "drive" an ass or horse to turn the grinding wheel. <!-- s
