Exodus 9:32

9:32 But the wheat and the spelt ¹  were not struck, for they are later crops.) ² 

[9:32]  ¹ tn The word כֻּסֶּמֶת (kussemet) is translated “spelt”; the word occurs only here and in Isa 28:25 and Ezek 4:9. Spelt is a grain closely allied to wheat. Other suggestions have been brought forward from the study of Egyptian crops (see a brief summary in W. C. Kaiser, Jr., “Exodus,” EBC 2:363-64).

[9:32]  ² tn Heb “for they are late.”
