Isaiah 28:27-28

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.

[28:27]  ¹ tn Or “For” (KJV, ASV, NASB).

[28:27]  ² sn Both of these seeds are too small to use the ordinary threshing techniques.
