25 Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter (A)cummin
And [a]plant (B)wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within its [b]area?
26 For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
27 For dill is not threshed with a (C)threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheel [c]driven over cummin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.
