    "Corn" is mentioned in Deuteronomy 7:13. According to some of the research I've been doing indicates that the book of Deuteronomy was written around 1400 BCE. However, corn wasn't introduced to Europe until after Christopher Columbus return from the Americas. Could this have been a translation error? Or is there another explanation.

    Moses wasn't in Europe he was in the deserts of the Middle East long before Europe.

    Hello Bob,

    I looked into this for you. The word "corn" in Deuteronomy 7:13 is the Hebrew word transliterated "dagan". The BDB definition is "wheat, cereal, grain, corn". With a Strongs number of H1715 "properly grain".

    Hope that helps. God Bless.

    Bob,

    The Hebrew word here translated as corn, is done so 37 times in the KJV.

    That's what the word meant in 1611.

    I wouldn't loose any sleep over that.
