Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 28:25

25. When he hath made plain the face thereof , doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat , and the appointed barley , and the rie in their place ?

By breaking the Clods, which made it ragged and uneven.

Either 1. the Wheat, which is the principal or chief of all these Grains: Or, 2. The best Wheat, which He prudently chuseth for Seed.

That proportion of Barley which He appointed. Or, as others, the marked Barley; or, the choice Barley, which they laid aside in a sack for Seed; and therefore set it apart with a peculiar Mark upon it.

Heb. in his Border; each Seed in a several and proper place.

Marginal references: Or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place.; Or, spelt.; Heb. border.
