23 Pay close attentionto what I am saying.
24 Farmers don't just plowand break up the ground.
25 When a field is ready,they scatter the seedsof dill and cumin;they plant the seedsof wheat and barleyin the proper placesand sow other grainsaround the edges.
26 They learn this from their God.
27 After dill and cuminhave been harvested,the stalks are pounded,not run over with a wagon.
28 Wheat and barley are pounded,but not beaten to pulp;they are run over with a wagon,but not ground to dust.
29 This wonderful knowledge comesfrom the Lord All-Powerful,who has such great wisdom.
