Reed Rush. Gigantic hollow-stemmed grasses which grew along river banks and in moist areas of Egypt and Palestine. Many different Hebrew words refer to the marsh plants of the Bible. They form a large order of plants, such as flax, flags, bulrush, cane, calamus, and papyrus.<\/p>\n
Reeds and rushes grew anywhere from one to six meters (3-20 feet) high and had long, narrow leaves. A cluster of white flowers formed at the top of each stem.<\/p>\n
The reeds were used in various ways, including walking sticks, fishing poles, musical instruments, and pens. People also used them for weaving baskets, mats, and for other domestic purposes. Moses’ basket was woven from reeds. Papyrus, a particular reed, was used to make paper. <\/p>\n
Reeds were a symbol of weakness. Jesus refers to them as shaking in the wind ( Mat 11:7). A reed was placed in Jesus’ hand as He was mocked by the Roman soldiers ( Mat 27:29).<\/p>\n
