Isaiah 28:27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about on the cummin… The precise purpose for which this illustration from agricultural customs is introduced by the prophet is ranch disputed. We note that Isaiah declares the skill which the farmer shows in choosing his times and adapting his methods, comes directly from God; and this suggests two points for treatment. I. MAN PLAINLY WANTS GOD FOR THE GETTING OF HIS DAILY BREAD. II. HOW MUCH MORE, THEN, DOES HE WANT GOD FOR THAT BREAD WHICH SHALL FEED THE SOUL UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE! - R.T. Parallel Verses KJV: For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. |
