Farming In Biblical Bays

F, H. - MacArthur

The cereal crops most often mentioned in the Bible are wheat and barley. thouah rye and millet were not unknown. Of the two Iormer, together with the vice, olive and fig. the use oi’ irrigation, the plough and the barrow. men- tion is made in the book of Jub (XXX! 4D; XV 33; XXIV 6; XXIX l9; XXXIX 10. In Isa XXVIII 17 you may read o! iitchcs, beans and lentils. So these laser writers add a great variety of gar- den plants, such as kidney beans, peas, lettuce, leek, garlic, onions, cucumbers, cabbages etc. The pro- duce which earned Jacob's pres- ent was of such a kind as would keep. and had been stored during the great famine (Gen. mm 1.1).

Ploughing and sowing was done then as now, only the ancients used a, wooden plough drawn by oxen. New ground was cleared o: stones and trees early in the year. Sowing or gathering- frorn among thorns, probably reierred to slov- enly iarmlng. Virgin land was ploughed a second time and the seed was scattered broadcast. Tho soil was then run over with a light hsrrow in the same manner as was {allowed by the early settlers in P I

.E. .

In highly irrigated spots. the seed was" scattered over the earth and then trampled in by cattle (lsa. XXXII 20) as in Egypt by goats. sometimes, however, the sowing was confined to manured patches, and where the soil was heavy the plough was allowed to glide through the soil lightly. Sev- enty days before the Passover was considered the ideal time [er ploughing, this being alter the rainy season.

I I O

Two persons usually followed the plough. one to drive the lurrnv". the other to goad the oxen on by using a. spear-like stick (See Judg. Ill 31).

That there were thieves in those days ready to carry 01f the grain of their neighbors may he veriﬁed by this passage o1 scripture, “Boa: slept on the floor (Ruth HI 4.. 7.1. Barley ripened a. week or ten days belore wheat. The yield in those days must have been fairly heavy. n hundred gold is mentioned, but in such a way as to suggest that

it was a limit rarely attained (Gen. XXVI 12).

Rotation crops were not un- known to the Hebrews, though

they did not follow this practice to the nuns extent as did the Egypt- ians.

The harvest was reaped by means o! a. sickle, or sometimes pulled up by the roots. It was bound in sheaves, a process oi- ten described in Scirpture. cattle

were odtsn used to trample out the 8"!!!» though a threshing sledge was sometimes employed. This Crude gadget consisted of three rollers ridged with iron, which, aided by the driver's weight, crushed out the grain and broke up the straw, thus making it more suitable for fodder. Lighter grains were sometimes thrashed by means oi a stick. The use of animal manure as s. means of enriching the earth is referred to in several books. namely: the Psalms, Kings, Jer. etc. Mud “as also usexi ior the same purpose.

With regard to occupancy, a tan- snt might pay a. fixed money rent (Cont. VIII l1) or s. share of the crops, an arrangement still in use in the Prairies and ixfmost oi’ tre southern States. Every third year a 2nd tithe beside the priests was paid for the poor.

while. Neglect her. Thers won't be a bit of fun in raising cain if she is left to do it by her lonesome.

Evidently you and the‘llttle girl need to be parted for a while. Send her to a good summer camp. I have seen that work wonders in s child. And when shs comes back treat her as l! she was a Brown- up. That will put it up to her to act like one.

DEAR MISS DIX: What do you think of a wife who has always put her family before her husband, who has kept him from taking advantage of opportunities for advancement because she would have lo leavs the place where her people lived? She leaves him to get his own meals after working hard all day if she thinks any of her family need her, and she spends nearly all of the money he makes on her family.

JACK

ANSWER: There are a great many women whose ability to be good daughters and sisters seems to crowd out their ability to be good wives. They are so obsessed with family affection that they have no love left to give to their husbands. They offer themselves up as willing sacrifices to their own people and think it unreasonable that their husbands protest at also becoming victims.

0f course, the remedy is obvious. It is for the man to refuse to let his wife rob him for her people. She has a right to ask some help from him because if she were not married she would give them her earnings, but she certainly has no right to make him support. them.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am planning to marry a rnan who is egotis- tical, self-centered, incapable of loving any one but himself. I am doing this to get away from home. I have been brought up in an atmosphere of hate, bitterness, spitefulness and cruelty. Marriage is my only solution.

UNHAPPY JANE

ANSWER: You haven't tried being married to a selfish man, Jane: Nor a loveless marriage. When you do, you will find out that

you jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, because you will havG

left hope behind. There is always a chance of getting away from
