Rye

Rye =Rie, (Hebrews kussemeth), found in Exodus 9=>32; Isaiah 28=>25, in all of which the margins of the Authorized and of the Revised Versions have “spelt.” This Hebrew word also occurs in Ezekiel 4=>9, where the Authorized Version has “fitches’ (q.v.) and the Revised Version “spelt.” This, there can be no doubt, was the Triticum spelta, a species of hard, rough-grained wheat. s
