Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 28:27

_ _ The husbandman uses the same discretion in threshing. The dill (“fitches”) and cummin, leguminous and tender grains, are beaten out, not as wheat, etc., with the heavy corn-drag (“threshing instrument”), but with “a staff”; heavy instruments would crush and injure the seed.

_ _ cart wheel — two iron wheels armed with iron teeth, like a saw, joined together by a wooden axle. The “corn-drag” was made of three or four wooden cylinders, armed with iron teeth or flint stones fixed underneath, and joined like a sledge. Both instruments cut the straw for fodder as well as separated the corn.

_ _ staff — used also where they had but a small quantity of corn; the flail (Ruth 2:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 28:23-29.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 28:27

A threshing instrument — This then was made like a sledge shod with iron, which was drawn by men or beasts, over the sheafs of corn, to bruise them, and tear the grain out of them. A wheel — A lower wheel than a cart wheel, but of the same form, upon which possibly the threshing instrument was drawn.
