Stalk
stok: In Gen 41:5, Gen 41:22 is for kaneh, cane; in Jos 2:6 for , ec, wood. In Hos 8:7, the Revised Version margin has stalk for , kamah, that which stands. The Revised Version’s standing grain is due to this meaning of kamah in Exo 22:6, etc., but this translation spoils the figure. The meaning is, They sow the wind, a worthless sowing, for such seed produces no stalk, it yields no grain.
