Isaiah 28:27

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.

Isaiah 51:10

51:10 Did you not dry up the sea,

the waters of the great deep?

Did you not make ³  a path through the depths of the sea,

so those delivered from bondage ⁴  could cross over?

[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.

[51:10]  ³ tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “Are you not the one who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made…?”

[51:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “the redeemed” (so ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); KJV “the ransomed.”
