42 H935 [H8802] And there came H376 a man H1190 from Baalshalisha, H935 [H8686] and brought H376 the man H430 of God H3899 bread H1061 of the firstfruits, H6242 twenty H3899 loaves H8184 of barley, H3759 and full ears of grain H6861 in its husk. H559 [H8799] And he said, H5414 [H8798] Give H5971 to the people, H398 [H8799] that they may eat.

43 H8334 [H8764] And his servant H559 [H8799] said, H5414 [H8799] What, should I set H6440 this at the face of H3967 an hundred H376 men? H559 [H8799] He said again, H5414 [H8798] Give H5971 the people, H398 [H8799] that they may eat: H559 [H8804] for thus saith H3068 the LORD, H398 [H8800] They shall eat, H3498 [H8687] and shall have some left.

44 H5414 [H8799] So he set H6440 it at the face of H398 [H8799] them, and they ate, H3498 [H8686] and left H1697 some, according to the word H3068 of the LORD.

the husk thereof. or, his scrip, or garment.Note: Parched corn, or corn to be parched; full ears before they are ripe, parched on the fire: a very frequent food in the East. The loaves were probably extremely small, as their loaves of bread still are in eastern countries. But small as this may appear, it would be a considerable present in the time of famine; though very inadequate to the number of persons. Baal-shalisha, of which the person who made this seasonable present was an inhabitant, was situated, according to Eusebius and Jerome, fifteen miles north of Diospolis, or Lydda.
