23. Pay close attentionto what I am saying.
24. Farmers don't just ploughand break up the ground.
25. When a field is ready,they scatter the seedsof dill and cumin;they plant the seedsof wheat and barleyin the proper places.
26. They learn this from their God.
27. After dill and cuminhave been harvested,the stalks are beaten,not run over with a wagon.
28. Wheat and barley are pounded,but not beaten to pulp;they are run over with a wagon,but not ground to dust.
29. This wonderful knowledge comesfrom the Lord All-Powerful,who has such great wisdom.
