Bible Verses About Parables: Of the husbandman

Listen and hear my voice; pay attention, and hear what I say:

Does a farmer sowing keep plowing forever? Does he never stop breaking up and harrowing his land?

No - when he finishes levelling it, he scatters his dill-seed, sows his cumin, puts wheat in rows, barley where it belongs, and plants buckwheat around the edges;

because his God has taught him this, has given him instruction.

Dill must not be threshed with a sledge or cartwheels driven over cumin; rather, dill one beats with a stick and cumin with a flail.

When crushing grain for bread, one doesn't thresh it forever; one drives the horse and cart wheels over it but doesn't crush it to powder.

This too comes from ADONAI-Tzva'ot - his counsel is wonderful, his wisdom great.
