1. kussemeth, “spelt,” a species of grain resembling wheat with shorn ears (Ezek. 4:9). The same word is in Exodus 9:32 and Isaiah 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).
