Synopsis

Excerpt from Scripture Illustrations: Explanatory of Numerous Texts, and of Various Customs Mentioned in the Bible

Ploughing in the East was not always per formed at once going over the land; the first time it was done chiefly for the purpose of preparing it; after this the seed was sown, and a second ploughing answered the purpose of our harrowing, by covering the seeds pre viously committed to the ground. It was in short harrowing and ploughing combined in one Operation. That the first ploughing was a work requiring attention, seems to be im plied in the form of the phrase in Isaiah, xxviii. Both the ploughman plough all day to sow? Literally, does he all day plough plough? The repetition of the last word signifying that second and lighter ploughing, which takes place after the seed is sown, and reduces to dust, those clods which could only be broken by the first Operation.
