Fitches

"(Isa. 28:25, 27), the rendering of the Hebrew ketsah, "without" "doubt the Nigella sativa, a small annual of the order" "Ranunculacece, which grows wild in the Mediterranean countries," "and is cultivated in Egypt and Syria for its seed." It is" "rendered in margin of the Revised Version "black cummin." The" seeds are used as a condiment. "In Ezek. 4:9 this word is the rendering of the Hebrew kussemeth "(incorrectly rendered "rye" in the Authorized Version of Ex." "9:32 and Isa. 28:25, but "spelt" in the Revised Version). The" "reading "fitches" here is an error; it should be "spelt."
