Harrow. It is very questionable whether the Hebrews used a harrow in our sense of the term. In Job 39:10; Isaiah 28:24; Hosea 10:12, breaking the clods is alluded to; but this was before sowing the seed, just to level the ground. The word translated "harrow" in 2 Samuel 12:31; 1 Chronicles 20:3, means a sharp threshing-sledge.
