Fitches.


1. kussemeth, 'spelt,' a species of grain resembling wheat with shorn ears. Ezek. 4: 9. The same word is in Ex. 9: 32; Isa. 28: 25, translated RYE.


2. qetsach, 'black cummin,' R.V. margin. This is doubtless the nigella sativa. Its small black seeds are aromatic, and are used as a condiment and a medicine. The prophet says they are beaten out

with a rod. Isa. 28: 25-27.
