 Bolled
    (Ex. 9:31), meaning "swollen or podded for seed," was adopted in
    the Authorized Version from the version of Coverdale (1535). The
    Revised Version has in the margin "was in bloom," which is the
    more probable rendering of the Hebrew word. It is the fact that
    in Egypt when barley is in ear (about February) flax is
    blossoming.
