It would be interesting to know what the original word was for the actual item they plucked: some say corn some say grain some say wheat.

I've always assumed it would be wheat: Corn doesn't come on ears it comes on a cob and it is well

Wrapped up. Hard to get at the individual nuts. Wheat is on the ear.

Also it is more ludicrous that they should be accused of sabbath breaking just for plucking an ear of wheat. Plus of course, taking

A whole cob of corn would get them

arrested for theft.
