Barley is not for signs or seasons

One in Messiah Congregation

The BARLEY הַשְּׂעֹרָה was NOT given for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years as some say!!!

Gen.1 [14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Pss.104[ 19] He appointed the moon for seasons עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ, לְמוֹעֲדִים : the sun knoweth his going down.
