והמרגים. כלי עץ מלא חריצין, וכבד הוא, ומעבירין אותו על הקש תמיד, ומחתכו להיות תבן למאכל בהמות:
The rake. A wooden utensil full of jagged edges which is heavy and it is constantly applied to straw; it cuts it to become fodder to feed the animals:
הַכֹּל נָתַן אֲרַוְנָה הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמֶּלֶךְ {ס} וַיֹּאמֶר אֲרַוְנָה אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ יִרְצֶֽךָ׃
