Isaiah 28:25

When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?

KJV

Nonne cum adæquaverit faciem ejus, seret gith et cyminum sparget ? et ponet triticum per ordinem, et hordeum, et milium, et viciam in finibus suis ?

Vulgate

οὐχ ὅταν ὁμαλίσῃ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, τότε σπείρει μικρὸν μελάνθιον καὶ κύμινον, καὶ πάλιν σπείρει πυρόν, κριθὴν καὶ κέγχρον καὶ ζέαν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις σου;

LXX

When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof?
