Subjects in this Topic:
RIE (the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] spelling of ‘rye’) occurs twice (Exo_9:32, Isa_28:25) in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] as rendering of kussemeth, which in Eze_4:9 is rendered ‘fitches.’ In all three passages RV [Note: Revised Version.] has ‘spelt,’ Whatever kussemeth was, it was neither true rye, which is a cereal unknown in Palestine, nor spelt. See Fitches.
