'Grain' in the Bible

These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.

Look, I am about to crush you in your placeas a wagon full of sheaves crushes grain.

And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.

Therefore, because you trample on the poorand exact a grain tax from him,you will never live in the houses of cut stoneyou have built;you will never drink the winefrom the lush vineyardsyou have planted.

Even if you offer Meyour burnt offerings and grain offerings,I will not accept them;I will have no regardfor your fellowship offerings of fattened cattle.

“House of Israel, was it sacrifices and grain offerings that you presented to Me during the 40 years in the wilderness?

asking, “When will the New Moon be overso we may sell grain,and the Sabbath,so we may market wheat?We can reduce the measurewhile increasing the priceand cheat with dishonest scales.

We're eager to trade silver for the poor, a pair of sandals for the needy! We want to mix in some chaff with the grain!"

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.
