(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

a grain much cultivated in Egypt (Exodus 9:31) and in Palestine (Leviticus 27:16; Deuteronomy 8:8). It was usually the food of horses (I Kings 4:28). Barley bread was used by the poorer people (Judg. 7:13; 2Kings 4:42). Barley of the first crop was ready for the harvest by the time of the Passover, in the middle of April (Ruth 1:22; 2Sam 21:9).
