About Plough
“Plowshare” (macharesheth): Some commentators have suggested that this first word in the list is a general term, meaning “tools for working the soil.” What follow would then be separate instruments, including the machareshah, which appears in Hebrew with exactly the same consonants, made different only by the vowel points. This interpretation is, however, far from certain.
