    Harrows 4: 3: 38
    The harrows were made of timber sticks on them .They were made by a carpenter.When these sticks met a stone they used break and then the people began to put iorns on them and they could not break.
    A smith used get the iorns for them and put them on the harrows.There used be half the iorn above and below in the harrow and you could harrow with each side .
