         Comments: Elsewhere in the NT σῖτος, when used alone, refers to wheat as grain, but even in {S:04301202400020} τοῦ σίτου may be interpreted as a so-called ‘appositional genitive,’ that is, ‘seed which is wheat’ or ‘wheat seed.’|While in some parts of the world wheat as a grain or as a plant is not known, in almost all instances people are acquainted with wheat flour, and therefore it is often possible to translate ‘wheat’ as ‘flour plant’ or ‘plant the grain of which is used to make flour.’ In some languages, however, the only possible equivalent is ‘rice-like plant’ in which ‘rice-like’ means essentially ‘grass-like,’ while at the same time indicating edible grain.
