stôk : In Genesis 41:5 , Genesis 41:22 is for ḳānēh , "cane"; in Joshua 2:6 for עץ , ‛ēc , "wood." In Hosea 8:7 , the Revised Version margin has "stalk" for קמה , ḳāmāh , "that which stands." The Revised Version's "standing grain" is due to this meaning of ḳāmāh in Exodus 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."
