**he winnoweth.** This was, and is to-day, the master's work. His servants plowed, sowed, and reaped.

**unto me.** Some codices, with Septuagint and Vulgate, omit these words.

**thy skirt** = wing (with Septuagint and Vulgate) Other codices, with two early printed editions, read "wings". "Wing" put by Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Cause) for protective care. App-6 .

**thou requirest** = thou shalt say. Some codices, with Aramaean, Syriac, and Vulgate, add "unto me".
**city.** Hebrew gate, put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Part) for the people assembling there.

**one** = a man. Hebrew ' *i* s *h* . App-14 .

**vail** = mantle or cloak, worn by all peasants; only the town-women veiling the face. Compare [Isaiah 3:23](../../../kjv/isaiah/3/23) .
**she went -he went.** The verb is masculine. Some codices, with Syriac and Vulgate, read "she".
