_ _ face — the “surface” of the ground: “made plain,” or level, by harrowing.
_ _ fitches — rather, “dill,” or “fennel”; Nigella romana, with black seed, easily beaten out, used as a condiment and medicine in the East. So the Septuagint, “cummin” was used in the same way.
_ _ cast in ... principal wheat — rather, plant the wheat in rows (for wheat was thought to yield the largest crop, by being planted sparingly [Pliny, Natural History, 18.21]); [Maurer]; “sow the wheat regularly” [Horsley]. But Gesenius, like English Version, “fat,” or “principal,” that is, excellent wheat.
_ _ appointed barley — rather, “barley in its appointed place” [Maurer].
_ _ in their place — rather, “in its (the field’s) border” [Maurer]. |

Made plain — By breaking the clods. The wheat — The best which he chuses for seed. Barley — That proportion of barley which he appointed. Place — Heb. in his border; each seed in a several place. |
