Then he introduces an illustration from nature. For, after all, there is “a time” for farming the land and another time for plowing the land and another to sow seeds suitable for the soil that lies below. For he will plant small dill in one field and cumin in another, and wheat in one and barley and various seeds in another, and spelt in yet another. Then, when the crops from all of these ripen in the harvest season, when he gathers each one individually and will purify as is appropriate to each one, then he will bring about the purification of all in this very place. He will neither use a cart nor those iron “wheels like saws” which he has fashioned on the cumin and the small dill, the grain, barley and spelt. And, once again, he will not purify the grain by striking it with a rod. For the plants that have not produced will be purified like the small dill and the cumin, for he takes the rod on the weakest of seeds. When he strikes with a rod, he will purify the cumin and the 186 small dill. And he will run the iron cart wheels over the grain and the barley and the other plants growing nearby, and these cart wheels are sharp and will be able to easily cut out and to chop down what is useless except for the fire. And, therefore, in the same way, the farmer of souls and of the Word of God wills that the souls of people be renewed at the proper time through the spiritual teaching that plows up and opens up the words hidden in the depths, words that are attained by the plow of the word. For this reason, he commands: “Renew for yourselves the newly plowed field, and do not sow among thorns.”
And when the surface of every evil soul that once produced thorns shall be leveled and taken away, then in a fashion corresponding to the variance of those who receive the seed, the seeds are scattered. On the one hand, there are certain small and seemingly insignificant seeds such as dill and cumin, and on the other hand there are more important and necessary seeds such as wheat and barley, seeds and spelt, which are sown because of their ability to reproduce generously and in various conditions. “For there are varieties of gifts, and there are varieties of working, and it is given to each one through the Spirit,” and these gifts are furnished to these over here and other gifts to others over there. And when “the Lord of the harvest” shall arrive, “then the consummation of the harvest of the word shall take place,” as the Savior taught. Then, fruit will be demanded in return, in accordance with the value of the seeds which each one received. And those who received a moderate amount of seed but failed to produce a corresponding crop will receive a trial of moderate correction and chastisement, for example, beating with a rod. But those who have been deemed worthy of more seeds and more perfect gifts, if they fail to return fruit worthy of the privilege that has been supplied to them, they will be delivered over to great hurricanes of chastisement.
And so it is with you who have been appointed rulers, leaders, teachers of the people and priests who occupy yourselves in such a glorious and honorable service of God. The Word says that you are a “crown of pride” and the “hired workers of Ephraim,” for you have dared to turn the people aside so that they “rejected” “the honored and chosen cornerstone.” For this very reason, those among you who were given moderate abilities will also be given a moderate judgment, but to those who have been granted greater and more extensive capabilities, more severe punishments will be applied. The text says according to Symmachus: and God will discipline him with his judgment, or, according to the Septuagint: and he will be instructed by the judgment of God. This verse teaches through an illustration from nature that just as a farmer applies fitting measures according to the principles of agriculture, so God does according to what he has supplied to every person. When it comes to the purification of seeds not all will be purified in the same way. Indeed, he will purify some through the rod but others through 187 harsh treatment, on whom the wheel of the cart will come. For these things did not come from human learning but from the instruction of God. The one who has been occupied in the field has been instructed by God and has been taught to receive this judgment.
According to Aquila, the text reads: and the bread will be cut small instead of it will be eaten with bread. For instead of it will be eaten, Aquila writes, it will be cut small, and Symmachus and Theodotion also write, it will be cut small. But, not forever, he says, will he thresh him with a threshing instrument, neither will the wheel of his cart disturb him, nor will he winnow him with his hooves. For he says that then the wheel of the cart will pass over the grain and that it will winnow the stubble all around, and the stubble will be threshed into fine chaff by the wheels and by the hooves of the oxen. But he will not ruin the grain, and by this he means that the essence of the soul will not be utterly destroyed, nor will it perish altogether in the chastisement which is borne on it. We understand this from when he said: For I will not be angry with you forever, nor will the voice of my bitterness trample you. He does not say that he will punish the ungodly so as to ruin their essence and to utterly destroy their souls, since the image of the iron wheels of the cart which were prepared to ruin the grain was a negative example. Rather, he will clear away all the stubble in order to preserve the grain and to accomplish its purification.
