Isaiah 28:27

For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

KJV

Non enim in serris triturabitur gith, nec rota plaustri super cyminum circuibit ; sed in virga excutietur gith, et cyminum in baculo.

Vulgate

οὐ γὰρ μετὰ σκληρότητος καθαίρεται τὸ μελάνθιον, οὐδὲ τροχὸς ἁμάξης περιάξει ἐπὶ τὸ κύμινον· ἀλλὰ ῥάβδῳ τινάσσεται τὸ μελάνθιον, τὸ δὲ κύμινον

LXX

For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
