For all the wise tell me this

[dmdave17]

If what we commonly call corn or maise was not discovered by European or middle eastern peoples till the late 15th century or early 16th century how is it that the scriptures speak of it all the way back to Genesis?
I have spent a lot of time and research on this curiousity I.E. language translation of the bible through 3 different languages, extensive research in archeology reports etc. If you know definitively please tell me.

What I want to know is where the scriptures speak of corn or maise (or even maize, which is the correct spelling)? I do not claim to be a biblical scholar, and I certainly have never read it in Greek, or Hebrew, but I could not find the use of any of those three ( ) words anywhere.

It depends on which translation(s) you're using. Some English translations, especially the British ones, seem to use "corn" sometimes. What translation do you use?
