Blaine: It has that quality of becoming musty
and moldy if not eaten right away. Luckily, the Lord was able to preserve
a few kernals in Phoenix.

I got so far behind, I started deleting posts without reading them--it was
the only way I could catch up and get current. (:>) I even
deleted DavidM's posts, which I am usually careful to read, so don't take it
personally. In fact, I unsubscribed for a couple of days while I was
gone to Richfield to take my son there for a job. But thanks for
letting me know the challenge is there--who put it
there?
Just to remind you--maybe
you didn't read it, or you dismissed it as being unimportant--I have already
posted on the discovery of barley in the Americas before Columbus'
time. The December 1983 issue of the Science 83 reported the
discovery in Phoenix, Arizona by professional archaeologists. Prior to
its discovery, barley was thought to be an old world crop only, and was
widely used by anti-BoM advocates as proof the BoM was a fake.
It is of fundamental
importance, since barley has long been associated with the law of Moses as a
wave offering during the Passover, which is held during Abib, the
first month mentioned in the Bible, which means "the
greening," referring to the greening of the barley crop in the early
Spring. This crop was planted in the fall as a dry
crop. It depended on Spring moisture to bring it up early, and was the
first of the grain crops to show maturity. When it was used as a wave
offering, it signified Jesus having barely attained maturity (age 33)
when he was crucified. The same with the Pascal lamb, which was to be
a lamb or goat of the FIRST YEAR.
For Lehi and his group to
have left Jerusalem in 600 B.C. without barley would have seriously
compromised BoM credibility. The BoM references to
barley are found in:
Mosiah
7:22
"and one half of our
corn, and our BARLEY, and even all our grain of every
kind."
Mosiah,
9:9
"And we began to till the
ground with all manner of seeds, with seeds of corn, and of wheat, and of
BARLEY, . . .
Alma 11:7
"A senum of silver was
equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of BARLEY, and also for
a measure for every kind of grain."
Alma
11:15
"A shiblon
is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of
BARLEY."
