Barley
From BibleWiki
a grain much cultivated in Egypt (Ex 9:31) and in Palestine (Lev 27:16; Deut 8:8). It was usually the food of horses (1 Kg 4:28). Barley bread was used by the poorer people (Jdg 7:13; 2Kg 4:42). Barley of the first crop was ready for the harvest by the time of the Passover, in the middle of April (Ruth 1:22; 2 Sam 21:9). Mention is made of barley-meal (Num 5:15). Our Lord fed five thousand with "five barley loaves and two small fishes" (Jn 6:9).
