stub ´' 50 ( קשׁ , ḳash ( Exodus 5:12 , etc.); καλάμη , kalámē (The Wisdom of Solomon 3:7; 1 Corinthians 3:12 )): These Hebrew and Greek forms are used of the stalks of wheat, etc., left knee-high in the field by the reapers. תּבן , tebhen (Job 21:18 ), is a mixture of chopped straw and chaff produced in threshing, which is winnowed out by the fan (compare Jeremiah 23:28; Isaiah 5:24; Matthew 3:12 ). When tebhen was withheld from them the Israelites had to utilize ḳash for the manufacture of their bricks (Exodus 5:12 ).
