# General Information:
Isaiah continues telling a parable to the people of Jerusalem. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parables]])
# When he has prepared the ground
"When the farmer has plowed the soil"
# does he not scatter caraway seed, sow the cumin, put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the right place, and the spelt at its edges?
Isaiah uses a question to make the people of Jerusalem think deeply. If your language does not have a word for each of these seeds, they can be stated more generally. Alternate translation: "he will certainly plant each kind of seed in the correct way and in the proper places." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# caraway ... cumin
These are names of plants that are spices. Translators may represent them in general as seeds of spices used to spice food. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]])
# wheat ... barley ... spelt
These are all names of plants that are grains. Translators may represent them in general as seeds of grains. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]])
