In Genesis 41:35,49 , Proverbs 11:26 , Joel 2:24 ("wheat"), the word thus translated (bar; i.e., "winnowed") means corn purified from chaff. With this corresponds the use of the word in the New Testament ( Matthew 3:12; Luke 3:17; Acts 7:12 ). In Psalm 65:13 it means "growing corn."
In Genesis 42:1,2,19 , Joshua 9:14 , Nehemiah 10:31 ("victuals"), the word (sheber; i.e., "broken," i.e., grist) denotes generally victuals, provisions, and corn as a principal article of food.
From the time of Solomon, corn began to be exported from Palestine ( Ezekiel 27:17; Amos 8:5 ). "Plenty of corn" was a part of Issac's blessing conferred upon Jacob (Genesis 27:28; Compare Psalm 65:13 ).
