Isaiah 28:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A threshing instrument; which then and there was made like a sled shod with iron, which was drawn by men or beasts over the sheafs of corn, to bruise them, and beat the grain out of them. A cart wheel; a lesser and lower wheel than a cart wheel, but of the same form, upon which possibly the threshing instrument was drawn. The fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod, as being unable to bear harder usage.

Isaiah 28:27

27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
