Harrow. The word so rendered, 2 Samuel 12:31; 1 Chronicles 20:3, is probably a threshing-machine. The verb rendered "to harrow," Job 39:10; Isaiah 28:24; Hosea 10:11, expresses apparently the breaking of the clods, and is so far analogous to our harrowing - but whether done by any such machine as we call a "harrow" is very doubtful.
