Levigate
To levigate is to rub, grind, or reduce to a fine powder, as in a mortar, with or without the addition of a liquid.
Moses was so outraged at the sight of the Israelites worshiping a golden calf that he had it levigated and made the Israelites drink it! (Exodus 32:20)
He took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it over the surface of the water and made the sons of Israel drink it. (Exodus 32:20, NASB)
Note: This painting is "The Adoration of the Golden Calf" by Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665). The oil on canvas hangs in the The National Gallery in London.
