Topical Encyclopedia

In the context of the Bible, the term "corn" is often used in older English translations to refer to grain in general, rather than the specific maize plant known as corn in modern American English. The Hebrew and Greek words translated as "corn" in the Bible typically refer to wheat, barley, or other cereal grains that were staple foods in the ancient Near East.

Biblical References:

1. Provision and Sustenance:
Corn, as a representation of grain, is frequently mentioned in the Bible as a symbol of God's provision and sustenance. In Genesis 41:47, during the seven years of abundance in Egypt, "the land produced plentifully," referring to the grain harvests that Joseph stored to prepare for the coming famine. This narrative underscores the importance of grain as a life-sustaining resource.

2. Harvest and Blessing:
The harvest of corn is often associated with divine blessing and prosperity. In Deuteronomy 28:8, the Lord promises to bless the barns and all the work of the hands of the Israelites, indicating that a bountiful harvest is a sign of God's favor: "The LORD will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in everything to which you put your hand, and He will bless you in the land the LORD your God is giving you."

3. Judgment and Famine:
Conversely, the absence or destruction of corn is depicted as a form of divine judgment or a consequence of disobedience. In Joel 1:10, the prophet laments, "The fields are ruined, the ground is mournful; for the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails." This passage highlights the devastating impact of a failed grain harvest on the community's well-being.

4. Symbol of Abundance:
Corn is also used metaphorically to describe abundance and prosperity. In Psalm 65:9-13, the psalmist praises God for His provision, describing how He enriches the earth and crowns the year with bounty, leading to "the valleys covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing."

5. Parables and Teachings:
Jesus used grain imagery in His parables to convey spiritual truths. In the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3-9), the seed that falls on good soil and produces a crop—"a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold"—illustrates the fruitful reception of God's word in a receptive heart.

Cultural and Historical Context:

In biblical times, grain was a central component of the diet and economy. It was used to make bread, a staple food, and was often stored in granaries for future use. The agricultural cycle of sowing and reaping was deeply ingrained in the daily life and religious practices of the Israelites, with festivals such as the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) celebrating the wheat harvest.

Theological Significance:

Corn, as a symbol of grain, carries theological significance in the Bible. It represents God's provision, the blessings of obedience, and the consequences of sin. The imagery of sowing and reaping is also used to illustrate spiritual principles, such as the importance of faithfulness and the certainty of divine justice.

In summary, while the term "corn" in the Bible refers to grain in general, its presence in Scripture serves as a powerful symbol of God's provision, blessing, and the spiritual truths conveyed through the agricultural practices of the ancient world.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Corn

The most common kinds were wheat, barley, spelt, Authorized Version, (Exodus 9:32) and Isai 28:25 "Rye;" (Ezekiel 4:9) "fitches" and millet; oats are mentioned only by rabbinical writers. Our Indian corn was unknown in Bible times. Corn-crops are still reckoned at twentyfold what was sown, and were anciently much more. (Genesis 41:22) The Jewish law permitted any one in passing through a filed of standing corn to pluck and eat. (23:25) see also Matt 12:1 From Solomon's time, (2 Chronicles 2:10,15) as agriculture became developed under a settled government, Palestine was a corn-exporting country, and her grain was largely taken by her commercial neighbor Tyre. (Ezekiel 27:17) comp. Amos 8:5

ATS Bible Dictionary

Corn

In the Bible, is the general word for grain of all kinds, including various seeds, peas, and beans. It never means, as in America, simply maize, or Indian corn. Palestine was anciently very fertile in grain, which furnished in a great measure the support of the inhabitants. "Corn, wine, and oil-olive" were the staple products, and wheat and barley still grow there luxuriantly, when cultivated. Wheat was often eaten in the field, the ripe ear being simply rubbed in the hands to separate the kernels, De 23:25 Matthew 12:1. Parched wheat was a part of the ordinary food of the Israelites, as it still is of the Arabs, Ruth 2:14 2 Samuel 17:28,29; by the feet of cattle, De 25:4; or by "a sharp threshing instrument having teeth," Isaiah 41:15, which was something resembling a cart, drawn over the corn by means of horses or oxen. See THRESHING.

When the grain was threshed, it was separated from the chaff and dust by throwing it forward across the wind, by means of a winnowing fan, or shovel, Matthew 3:12; after which the grain was sifted, to separate all impurities from it, Am 9:9 Luke 22:31. Hence we see that the threshing-floors were in the open air, and if possible on high ground, as travellers still find them in actual use, Jud 6:11 2 Samuel 24:18. The grain thus obtained was sometimes pounded in a mortar, Numbers 11:8 Revelation 18:22, but was commonly reduced to meal by the hand-mill. This consisted of a lower millstone, the upper side of which was slightly concave, and an upper millstone, the lower surface of which was convex. These stones were each about two feet in diameter, and half a foot thick; and were called "the nether millstone," and the rider, Job 41:24 Jud 9:53 2 Samuel 11:21. The hole for receiving the corn was in the center of the upper millstone; and in the operation of grinding, the lower was fixed, and the upper made to move round upon it with considerable velocity by means of a handle. The meal came out at the edges, and was received on a cloth spread under the mill on the ground. Each family possessed a mill, and the law forbade its being taken in pledge, De 24:6; one among innumerable examples of the humanity of the Mosaic legislation. These mills are still in use in the East, and in some parts of Scotland. Dr. E.D. Clarke says, "In the island of Cyprus I observed upon the ground the sort of stones used for grinding corn, called querns in Scotland, common also in Lapland, and in all parts of Palestine." These are the primeval mills of the world; and they are still found in all corn countries where rude and ancient customs have not been liable to those changes introduced by refinement. The employment of grinding with these mills is confined solely to females, who sit on the ground with the mill before them, and thus may be said to be "behind the mill," Exodus 11:5; and the practice illustrates the prophetic observation of our Savior concerning the day of Jerusalem's destruction: "Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one shall be taken and the other left," Matthew 24:41. To this feminine occupation Samson was degraded, Jud 16:21. The women always accompany the grating noise of the stones with their voices; and when ten or a dozen are thus employed, the fury of the song rises to a high pitch. As the grinding was usually performed in the morning at daybreak, the noise of the females at the hand-mill was heard all over the city, and often awoke their more indolent masters. The Scriptures mention the want of this noise as a mark of desolation, Jeremiah 25:10 Revelation 18:22.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

The word so rendered (dagan) in Genesis 27:28, 37, Numbers 18:27, Deuteronomy 28:51, Lamentations 2:12, is a general term representing all the commodities we usually describe by the words corn, grain, seeds, peas, beans. With this corresponds the use of the word in John 12:24.

In Genesis 41:35, 49, Proverbs 11:26, Joel 2:24 ("wheat"), the word thus translated (bar; i.e., "winnowed") means corn purified from chaff. With this corresponds the use of the word in the New Testament (Matthew 3:12; Luke 3:17; Acts 7:12). In Psalm 65:13 it means "growing corn."

In Genesis 42:1, 2, 19, Joshua 9:14, Nehemiah 10:31 ("victuals"), the word (sheber; i.e., "broken, " i.e., grist) denotes generally victuals, provisions, and corn as a principal article of food.

From the time of Solomon, corn began to be exported from Palestine (Ezek. 27:17; Amos 8:5). "Plenty of corn" was a part of Issac's blessing conferred upon Jacob (Genesis 27:28; Comp. Psalm 65:13).
