Separating Tares from Wheat
Matthew 13:24-41
Another parable put he forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man which sowed good seed in his field:…


The most troublesome of the foreign seeds in wheat are the tares (the weed commonly called darnel, and in botany Lolium temertulum). Its kernels are somewhat smaller than those of wheat, and the usual way to separate them is that adopted by the women, who sit at home with the children around a pile of wheat and patiently pick out the tares one by one.

(Van Lennep.)
