A useless weed resembling wheat.

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnela amongst the wheat, and went away.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The word beyond doubt means "darnel," which is in Latin "lolium," or "temulentum" because of its deleterious properties. The "tare" or vetch is far from being a noxious weed, a leguminous grain wholesome in itself and useful to the agriculturist in spring and winter for feeding his cattle.
