The term “hay,” therefore, in the Prayer-book version of Psa 106:20, for , is incorrect; A.V. “grass.” So also Pro 27:25, and Isa 15:6. The corn destined for forage is cut with a sickle. The term , A.V. “mower,” Psa 129:7, is most commonly in A.V. “reaper,” and once, Jer 9:22, “harvestman.” SEE REAPING.<\/p>\n
The “king’s mowings,” Amo 7:1, i.e., mown grass, Psa 72:6, may perhaps refer to some royal right of early pasturage for the use of the cavalry. Comp. 1Ki 18:5.

(Heb. gez), rendered in Ps. 72:6<\/span> “mown grass.” The expression “king’s mowings” (Amos 7:1<\/span>) refers to some royal right of early pasturage, the first crop of grass for the cavalry (comp. 1 Kings 18:5<\/span>).<\/p>\n In Scripture means “reaping with a sickle”, for the heat dries up the grass before it is high enough for the scythe (Psa 129:7). In Amo 7:1 “the king’s mowings” were the firstfruits of the pastures, tyrannically exacted. “The latter growth” was “the after grass” in the time of the latter rain.<\/p>\n Psa 72:6<\/span>; Psa 90:6<\/span>; Psa 129:7<\/span>; Amo 7:1<\/span> <\/p>\n Mowing.
