Mark 4.26-29 Parable of the Growing Seed
Jesus also said,  “The kingdom of God is  as if someone would scatter  	seed on the ground... Ploughing, sowing, and reaping. Tombs of the Kings—Thebes J. Gardner Wilkinson, A Popular Account of the Ancient Egyptians, Volume 2 (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), 40.
... and would sleep and rise night and day,  	and the seed would sprout and grow,  		he does not know how.
The earth produces of itself,  first the stalk,  then the head,  	then the full grain in the head. http://visual.merriam-webster.com/images/plants-gardening/plants/cereals/wheat.jpg
But when the grain is ripe,  at once he goes in with his sickle,  	because the harvest has come.”

Early models recovered are compound blades of serrated flint segments fastened in a wooden frame with bitumen. Later models include metal blades, but the use of flint continued long into the Bronze and Iron ages. A quick sweeping arc at the stems held by the other hand would be an efficient use of the tool. Biblical references to its use in harvest are numerous (Deut. 16:9; 23:25; Jer. 50:16; Joel 3:13; Mark 4:29) and it appears metaphorically as a tool of the harvest of human life at the Last Judgment (Rev. 14:14-20).R.S.B.
