“Do those who plow for sowing plow continually?
Do they continually open their ground?
Do they continually harrow their ground?
When they have leveled its surface,
Do they not scatter dill herbs?
Do they not sow carrot seeds?
Do they not plant wheat in rows?
Do they not plant barley in its proper place?
Do they not plant spelt hardy wheat as the border?
They are well instructed.
Their God teaches them.”
Here is a story or parable about farmers asked in a series of questions. First, they had to plow the ground before the planting of seeds. They had to open and turn the land over by harrowing it. Then they leveled it out. After this, they were able to scatter some dill herbs and sow some carrot seeds. Then they properly put the wheat and barley in rows with hardy inferior spelt wheat as the border to their farms. How did they know how to do this? Well, God has instructed them on how to do this.
