CORN

korn (daghan; sitos): A word used for cereals generally (Gen 27:28,37, etc., the King James Version) much as our English word "corn." the American Standard Revised Version almost invariably substitutes "grain" for "corn." The latter may be taken to include (1) barley, (2) wheat, (3) fitches (vetches), (4) lentils, (5) beans, (6) millet, (7) rye--the wrong translation for vetches, (8) pulse--for all these see separate articles. Rye and oats are not cultivated in Israel For many references to corn see AGRICULTURE; FOOD. "A corn kokkos, the Revised Version (British and American) "grain"] of wheat" is mentioned (Jn 12:24).
