TARES

 

TARES (Heb. ื–ื•ึผื ึดื™ื, zunim), the darnel โ€“ Lolium temulentum, weed which grows among grain, particularly wheat. The grains resemble those of wheat so that it is very difficult to separate them by sifting, and as a result they are sown together with the wheat and grow with it in the field. Darnel flour is poisonous and gives a bitter taste to bread in which it has been mixed. The tares do no harm to birds, especially to doves (tj, Kil. 1:1, 26d). Nobody would consciously sow tares in his field. Hence the parable in the New Testament about the peasant "who sowed good seed in his fieldsโ€ฆ and his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat" (Matt. 13:24โ€“30). According to the halakhah wheat and tares do not constitute *kilayim with one another (Kil. 1:1). The Jerusalem Talmud (ibid.) quotes a view that tares are called zunim because as a result of them the wheat mezannot ("commit[s] adultery"), i.e., it changes its characteristics and is turned into tares. This view had already been propounded by Galen (De Alimentis, 1:27), but Basilius argued with him: "Tares and other wild weeds are not formed by cultivated species changing into wild species" (Hexameron 5:5a). It has been demonstrated that by a thorough separation of the darnel seeds from the wheat seeds tares do not grow.
