Corn. The most common kinds were wheat, barley, spelt, Authorized Version, Exodus 9:32 and Isaiah 28:25, "rye;" Ezekiel 4:9, "fitches" and millet; oats are mentioned only by rabbinical writers. Our Indian corn was unknown in Bible times. Corn-crops are still reckoned at twentyfold what was sown, and were, anciently, much more. Genesis 41:22.
The Jewish law permitted any one in passing through a field of standing corn to pluck and eat. Deuteronomy 23:25. See also Matthew 12:1. From Solomon's time, 2 Chronicles 2:10; 2 Chronicles 2:15, as agriculture became developed, under a settled government, Palestine was a corn-exporting country, and her grain was largely taken by her commercial neighbor, Tyre. Ezekiel 27:17. Compare Amos 8:5.
