Contextual Overview

23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. 24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 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? 26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 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. 28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. 29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Para que los accesorios no se trillen con un instrumento de trilla - La palabra utilizada aquí (חרוּץ chârûts) indica adecuadamente lo que es puntiagudo o afilado, y se une con מורג môrag en Isaías 41:15 - lo que significa allí el trío o trineo; una tabla con hierro o piedras afiladas que fue dibujada por bueyes sobre el grano (compárese 2 Samuel 24:22; 1 Crónicas 21:23). En el pasaje ante nosotros, se mencionan varios métodos de trilla adaptados a diferentes tipos de grano, todos los cuales son actualmente comunes en el Este. Los que se mencionan bajo el nombre del "instrumento de trilla" y "una rueda de carro" se refieren a los instrumentos que todavía están en uso en el Este. Niebuhr, en sus "Viajes en Arabia", dice, (p. 299,) "Al trillar su grano, los árabes ponen las gavillas en un cierto orden, y luego conducen sobre ellos dos bueyes que arrastran una piedra grande". use bueyes, como lo hacían los antiguos, para vencer a sus granos, pisoteando las gavillas y arrastrando tras ellos una máquina torpe.

Esta máquina no es un cilindro de piedra; ni una tabla con piedras afiladas, como en Siria; pero una especie de trineo que consta de tres rodillos, equipados con planchas, que giran sobre los ejes. Un granjero elige un lugar nivelado en sus campos, y lleva su grano allí en gavillas, burros o dromedarios. Luego se unen dos bueyes en un trineo; luego un conductor se sube a él y lo conduce hacia atrás y hacia adelante sobre las poleas; y bueyes frescos triunfan en el yugo de vez en cuando. Mediante esta operación, la paja se reduce mucho; luego se aventa, y el grano se separa así. "Esta máquina", agrega Niebuhr, "se llama Nauridj". Bas tres rodillos que giran sobre tres ejes; y cada uno de ellos está equipado con algunas planchas que son redondas y planas. Se hicieron dos bueyes para dibujar sobre el grano una y otra vez el trineo mencionado anteriormente, y esto se hizo con la mayor comodidad para el conductor; porque estaba sentado en una silla fijada en un trineo ". Vea la ilustración en el libro para tener una idea de este modo de trilla y de los instrumentos que se emplearon.

Tampoco es una rueda de carro - Boehart (Hieraz. i. 2. 32. 311) describe este instrumento de trilla como consistente en un carro o vagón instalado con ruedas adaptadas para triturar o trillar el grano. Esto, dice, fue utilizado por los cartagineses que vinieron de las cercanías de Canaán. Parece haber sido hecho con ruedas dentadas, tal vez casi en forma de sierras circulares, por las cuales la paja se cortó finamente al mismo tiempo que el grano se separó de la paja.

Pero los accesorios se golpean con un bastón - Con un palo o un flagelo. Es decir, el pulso en general, los frijoles, la peasa, el eneldo, el comino, etc., se golpean fácilmente con un palo o un mayal. Este modo de trilla es común en todas partes. También se practicaba, como con nosotros, con respecto a la cebada y otros granos, donde había una pequeña cantidad, o donde se necesitaba prisa especial (ver Rut 2:17; Jueces 6:11).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo Isaías 28:27-23 . Se mencionan aquí cuatro métodos de trilla, mediante diferentes instrumentos: el mayal, el arrastre, el carretón y el pisoteo del ganado. El bastón o mayal se utilizaba para la semina infirmiora, dice Jerónimo, el grano que era demasiado tierno para ser tratado con los otros métodos. El arrastre consistía en una especie de tablones fuertes, hechos rugosos en la parte inferior, con piedras duras o hierro; era arrastrado por caballos o bueyes sobre las gavillas de maíz extendidas en el suelo, sentándose el conductor sobre él. Kempfer ha dado un grabado que representa la manera de utilizar este instrumento, Amaen. Exot. p. 682, fig. 3. La carreta era muy parecida a la anterior, pero tenía ruedas con dientes de hierro o bordes como los de una sierra: Ferrata carpenta rotis per medium in serrarum modum se volventibus. Hieron. in loc. De esto parece desprenderse que el eje estaba armado con dientes de hierro o ruedas dentadas en toda su extensión. Véase una descripción e impresión de tal máquina usada actualmente en Egipto para el mismo propósito en el Voyage en Arabie de Niebuhr, Tab. xvii. p. 123; se mueve sobre tres rodillos armados con dientes o ruedas de hierro para cortar la paja. En Siria utilizan el arrastre, construido de la misma manera que se ha descrito anteriormente; Niebuhr, Description de l'Arabie, p. 140. Esto no sólo forzaba el grano, sino que cortaba la paja en trozos para forraje del ganado, pues en los países orientales no tienen heno. Véase Harmer's Observ. I. p. 425. Este último método es bien conocido por la ley de Moisés, que "prohíbe poner bozal al buey que trilla el maíz". Deuteronomio 25:4 .
