Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Biblical Fitches Are Believed to Be Seeds of Fennel or Nutmeg Fitches Hebrew: ketsah Nigella satvia This small annual, Nigella sativa, grows wild in Mediterranean countries. It is cultivated for its seed in Egypt and Syria and used as a condiment. The name in some commentaries is " black cummin. " Easton's Bible Dictionary says that sometimes the word fitches is incorrectly used for spelt or rye in other portions of Scripture. Here in Isaiah 28 the Lord gives instructions on planting and threshing. The seeds of fennel cannot be harvested with common threshing tools because they are so small. A smaller instrument is to be used. The plant grows two-three feet high. The flower is a lovely cerulean blue. Inside the flower are five green curled pistils and multiple stamens that are black on the ends. The leaves are clear green and feather-like (). ________________________________ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of dmarrapodi Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 2:59 PM Subject: native naturals Have you used these? the nerve tonic and the salts seem to be the good combo? andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
