Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - As the stubble. "The word means not what we call stubble, but the broken straw which had to be separated from the wheat after the corn had been trampled out by the oxen. Sometimes it was burnt as useless; at other times left to be blown away by the wind coming from the desert, on which see Jeremiah 4:11; Job 1:19" (Payne Smith).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) Stubble.--Our English word means the "stalks of the corn left in the field by the reaper" (Johnson). The Hebrew word is applied to the broken straw left on the threshing-floor after the oxen had been driven over the corn, which was liable to be carried away by the first gale (Isaiah 40:24; Isaiah 41:2).The wind of the wilderness.--i.e., the simoom blowing from the Arabian desert (Jeremiah 4:11; Job 1:19).
