FITCH*

KJV translation of two Hebrew words. “Fitch” is actually an older form of the word “vetch,” the name of many species of leguminous plants. The “fitch” of Isaiah 28:25-27 (NLT “dill”) is the nutmeg flower, the seeds of which are used as a condiment. The “fitch” of Ezekiel 4:9 (NLT “spelt”) is probably emmer, an inferior kind of wheat.
