Cockle
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
COCKLE ( bo’shâh , Job 31:40 ). AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] ‘stinking weeds’ or RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘noisome weeds’ are both more correct. Sir J [Note: Jahwist.] . Hooper has suggested ‘stinking arums,’ which are common Palestine plants, but the more general rendering is safer.
