Total occorunces of "corn" in KJV |
I forgot to add this from my last post but the KJV gets it wrong here, while
the NIV and other contemporary translations does not.
The NIV, NKJV,NASB nor the Holmans mention the word "corn." Some of you will
say that these versions come from the "corrupt alexandrian texts" but if you
knew the history of corn you will see the mistake in the KJV.

The problem is in your bible software.
The word "corn" is not mentioned in the above verse.
Are you using Logos? Whatever you have its probably tons better than my
software.
You may want to send this to the developers.

Corn
The word so rendered (dagan) in #Ge 27:28,37 Nu 18:27 De 28:51 La 2:12 is a
general term representing all the commodities we usually describe by the
words corn, grain, seeds, peas, beans. With this corresponds the use of the
word in #Joh 12:24 In #Ge 41:35,49 #Pr 11:26 Joe 2:24 ("wheat"), the word
thus translated (bar; i.e., "winnowed") means corn purified from chaff. With
this corresponds the use of the word in the New Testament #Mt 3:12 Lu 3:17
Ac 7:12 In #Ps 65:13 it means "growing corn." In #Ge 42:1,2,19 Jos 9:14 #Ne
10:31 ("victuals"), the word (sheber; i.e., "broken," i.e., grist) denotes
generally victuals, provisions, and corn as a principal article of food.
From the time of Solomon, corn began to be exported from Palestine #Eze
27:17 Am 8:5 "Plenty of corn" was a part of Issac's blessing conferred upon
Jacob #Ge 27:28 comp. #Ps 65:13

say that these versions come from the "corrupt alexandrian texts" but if
you
knew the history of corn you will see the mistake in the KJV.
So whats this history of corn and exactly what point were you trying to

He's confused by the English use of the word corn to mean wheat or
other cereal grain. In Scotland corn means oats. To Americans corn
only comes on a cob.

I would like to understand better the meaning of corn also. I always thought
it was on the cob. We westerners tend to ONLY think of things in our

Okay..
The KJV gets the word corn wrong, but the NKJV and many other
translations get it right.
Here are a few examples of the word "corn" used in the KJV, and later
corrected
to "grain" or "weat" in the NKJV version.
[Ge 41:49] And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,
until
he
left numbering; for it was without number.
[Ge 41:49] Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea,
until he
stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
[Ge 41:57] And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;
because
that the famine was so sore in all lands.
[Ge 41:57] So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain,
because the
famine was severe in all lands.
[Ge 42:3] And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
[Ge 42:3] So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.
It was impossible for corn to be in egypt.
Read this article below from my CD-ROM encyclopedia disc on corn. Corn
came from mexico and was not in egypt.
Corn, or maize, Zea mays, is an annual plant of the grass family,
Gramineae. The largest of the cereals, it can reach heights of 4.5 m (15
ft). The stem, or cornstalk, is hard and jointed, resembling bamboo. The
plant possesses both male and female flowers; the male flowers are borne
in the tassel at the top of the stalk, and the female is a cluster,
called a cob, at a joint of the stalk.
The corn silks hanging from the husk of each cob are the pollen
receptors; each thread of silk must receive a grain of pollen in order
for its fruit, or kernel, to develop. A fertilized cob, or ear, contains
eight or more rows of kernels. One to three or more cobs grow on each
stalk.
Among the world's four most important crops (the others are wheat, rice,
and potatoes), corn is one of the few economic plants native to America.
The United States produces over 40 percent of the world output.
Worldwide, more than 132 million ha (327 million acres) of land are
planted in corn each year, with a grain production of more than 500
million metric tons (550 million U.S. tons). Countries with large areas
devoted to corn include the United States, China, and Brazil--the
largest growers; and, in descending order of production, Mexico, India,
Indonesia, South Africa, the Philippines, Romania, and Argentina.
ORIGIN OF CORN
Archaeological and geological excavations, and measures of radioactive
decay of old ears of corn found in caves, indicate that a type of
primitive corn was used as a food in Mexico at least 7,000 years ago. No
wild forms of corn have been found, and the origin of domesticated corn
is a speculative and controversial issue.
In its present form, the corn plant is highly specialized and is
unsuited for efficient, natural reproduction. Although the ear is
specially constructed for producing high seed yields, the plant has no
mechanism for broadcasting its seeds without human intervention. The
processes of mutation, natural selection, and mass selection by the
American Indians gradually transformed certain varieties of wild corn
into the cultivated plant called maize--a cultigen, or a product of
human culture. (The word maize, in the United States, usually refers to
the corn of the Indians; in Europe, corn is called maize.)
Corn was unknown outside the New World before 1492, but the plant was
extensively cultivated, in all its present forms, by the Indians of
North and South America. Seed grains of Indian maize, brought to Europe
and Africa by 16th-century explorers, were planted and eventually
thrived throughout most of the world. Since the 1930s, the development
of hybrid varieties of corn has resulted in greatly increased yields and
improved quality. Today, corn is considerably larger in cob size and in
the number and weight of the kernels than the corn grown by the Indians.
CULTIVATION
Corn grows best in well-aerated, deep, rich loams. The crop thrives in
areas with moderately high summer temperatures, warm nights, and
adequate but not excessive rainfall. Length of the growing season and
length of day also influence production. The Corn Belt of the midwestern
United States is ideally suited to these conditions.
In areas of intensive corn cultivation--especially in the Corn Belt
where farms are large and the topography is relatively
flat--mechanization has resulted in higher corn yields and greater
crop-labor productivity. Many specialized machines are used throughout
the Corn Belt. Among the most important are wheel-track planters, which
dig the furrows, plant the seed, and cover it in one operation;
mechanical picker-shellers, which harvest and shell the grain from the
cobs in one operation; and field choppers, which cut and chop the stalks
into silage.
Pest control is accomplished through the use of pest-resistant hybrid
varieties, proper cultivation, and the judicious use of herbicides and
pesticides (see herbicide; pesticides and pest control). Viral and other
diseases have caused heavy crop losses, and plant geneticists are doing
research in types of corn that are resistant to specific diseases and
insects.
Yields from desirable corn hybrids are greatest when plants are grown in
soils well supplied with balanced amounts of plant food and considerable
soil moisture, especially in areas of low rainfall. Corn grown
continuously for over 100 years on the experimental Morrow Plots at the
University of Illinois now ranges in yield from about 3,136 kg/ha (50
bu/acre) to 10,035 kg/ha (160 bu/acre), the disparity depending entirely
on the treatment of the soil.
Use of adapted hybrids, increased nitrogen application, and heavy plant
populations contributed to an annual increase of 113 kg/ha (1.8 bu/acre)
of corn during each of the past 25 years in the Corn Belt of the United
States. Other contributing factors were favorable soil and climatic
conditions, efficient mechanization, effective pest control, modern
cultural practices, intelligent water management, and greater crop-labor
productivity.
Before 1930, more than 30 minutes of labor were required to produce a
bushel (25.4 kg) of corn in the United States; less than 3 minutes are
now required.
TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS
Corn may be divided into several groups, each characterized by a
difference in the character of the seeds.
Dent Corn
By far the most widely grown type, dent corn (so named because the seed
has a depression, or dent, in the crown) furnishes millions of tons of
grain for human and industrial use and for livestock feed. The soft
starch extends to the summit of the seed, and the sides have a corneous
starch. The characteristic denting is caused by rapid drying and
shrinkage of the soft starch. Corn Belt dents of the United States
originated from mixing New England flints and gourdseed, an older
variety grown by the Indians of southeastern North America.
Flint Corn
The kernels of flint corn are hard and smooth and contain little soft
starch. Columbus and those who followed him landed in countries where
flint strains were widely grown. Consequently, flint corn was probably
the type first seen by Europeans. Flint corn is more widely grown in
Europe, Asia, Central America, and South America than in the United
States. In temperate zones, flint corn often matures earlier, germinates
better, and has earlier plant vigor than dent strains.
Popcorn
Popcorn, an extreme form of flint, contains only a small proportion of
soft starch. A minor crop, it is grown primarily for human consumption
as freshly popped corn and popcorn confections. The ability to pop seems
to be conditioned by the quality of the horny endosperm, a tough,
elastic material that resists the steam pressure generated within the
heated kernel until it reaches explosive force.
Flour Corn
The kernels of flour corn are composed largely of soft starch and have
little or no dent. Although it is now of little importance, flour corn
has been widely grown in the drier sections of the United States and in
the Andean region of South America. An old type of corn, it is
frequently found in graves of the ancient Aztecs and Incas. Because of
the softness of the kernels, American Indians were able to grind them
for flour.
Sweet Corn
The kernels of sweet corn have a translucent, horny appearance when
immature and are wrinkled when dry. The ears are eaten fresh or are
canned. Sweet corn differs from dent corn by only one recessive gene,
which prevents some sugar from being converted into starch. A
considerable quantity is grown as a winter crop in the southern part of
the United States.
Waxy Corn
The kernels of this corn are waxy in appearance. Its starch differs
chemically from common corn starch. Corn having the recessive waxy gene
was developed in China. Waxy mutations have since occurred in American
dent strains. Waxy hybrids are grown on a small scale to produce a
starch similar to tapioca starch.
Podcorn
Although not grown commercially, podcorn is of interest in studying the
origin of corn, since it is thought to resemble varieties of primitive
corn. Each kernel is enclosed in a pod or husk and the entire ear is
also enclosed in a husk (as are the ears of other types of corn).
DEVELOPMENT OF HYBRIDS
More is known about the genetics of corn than about any other economic
plant or animal. The plant is well suited for genetic research, since it
is easily grown and is adaptable to a wide range of environmental
conditions. It has a large number of distinct hereditary variations.
Inbreeding, or crossing, is simple and rapid, and hundreds of kernels
may be obtained on one ear from a single pollination. Rates of mutation
for specific genes can be measured, and the comparatively small number
of relatively large chromosomes within the germ cell facilitates
cytological studies.
Beginning in the 1920s, a method for breeding hybrid corn was developed,
using crossbreeding between inbred lines. Normally, corn is
cross-pollinated: pollen is carried from one plant to another by wind or
insects. Inbred corn is self-fertilized-- that is, pollen from the
tassel is used to fertilize the plant's silks, which are protected from
chance pollination by other plants. Inbreeding is often continued
through several generations, using only those progeny that show
desirable characteristics. Producing cross-strains, or hybrids, by
cross- breeding different varieties of inbred corn involves complex
techniques. Since the 1930s, the results from breeding and cultivating
hybrid corn have been spectacular. The acreage planted in corn hybrids
in the United States has increased from less than 0.1 percent in 1931 to
practically 100 percent today. Grain yields increased from 1,538 kg/ha
(24.5 bu/acre) in 1931 to 8,474 kg/ ha (135 bu/acre) in 1992.
Corn and such other monocot grains as rice and wheat have proved less
amenable to genetic engineering techniques than broad-leaved dicots like
tobacco and tomatoes--although corn hybrids containing a gene for corn
borer resistance obtained from the bacterium Bacillus thuringensis are
currently being evaluated and may be available to farmers by the end of
the 1990s. Using traditional methods of breeding, however, scientists at
the International Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat, in
Mexico, are developing high-yield strains that may prove to be high in
protein, drought-hardy, and tolerant of acid soils.
COMMERCIAL USES
Increased yields from the use of hybrids, as well as modern production
practices, have made vast quantities of corn available for feeding
livestock and for human consumption, as well as furnishing the raw
materials for hundreds of industrial products. Corn is used primarily as
a food in many areas of the world, although in the United States well
over half of the crop is fed to livestock. Major industrial users of
corn are feed manufacturers, millers, and the distilling and
fermentation industries. Corn oil is obtained from the germ of the
kernel; corn sugars and syrups, from the starch contained in the
endosperm. Ethanol, a gasoline additive, is most often made from corn.
In 1994 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ruled that ethanol
(rather than the methanol-based MTBE) will be used as the nation's fuel
additive.
Because corn is deficient in protein, nutritional problems often arise
when it makes up a large proportion of the diet. The development of
high-oil, waxy, and modified protein corns may improve the nutritional
qualities of corn in the future.

Mark Twain once remarked that the English and the Americans
are two peoples seperated by a common language. There are a number of
English usages that will startle Americans, and American usages that
confuse Englishmen. Not perhaps as much as there used to be because of
the exchange of popular TV programs now seen on both sides of the
pond.
For instance many a Yank has been surprised when an English girl
invited him to "knock me up in the morning!" All she meant of course
was that he should knock on her front door around breakfast time.

No it does not. The KJV was translated for Englishmen in the 17th

What he's saying, is that it does not, according to the

Elizabethan English and the word "corn" meant a type of
grain. It is a proper translation for the language
used for the translation.
