28:27 Certainly 1 caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge,
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. 2
Certainly caraway seed is beaten with a stick,
and cumin seed with a flail.
28:28 Grain is crushed,
though one certainly does not thresh it forever.
The wheel of one’s wagon rolls over it,
but his horses do not crush it.
1 tn Or “For” (KJV, ASV, NASB).
2 sn Both of these seeds are too small to use the ordinary threshing techniques.
