25 When he has leveled its surface,[a] does he not scatter dill,
    and sow cumin seed,
    and plant[b] wheat in planted rows,[c]
    and barley in an appointed place,
    and spelt grain as its border?
26 And his God instructs him about the prescription;[d]
    he teaches him.
27 For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
    nor is a wheel of a utility cart rolled[e] over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
    and cumin with a rod.
