stok : In English Versions of the Bible is used for:

(1) The stem of a tree, whether alive (Job 14:8; Isaiah 40:24 ) or cut down (Isaiah 44:19; The Wisdom of Solomon 14:21). In Jeremiah 2:27; Jeremiah 3:9; Hosea 4:12 , where the Hebrew has simply עץ , ‛ēc , "wood," either meaning is possible (tree-worship? idolatry?). In Jeremiah 10:8 the text is doubtful.

(2) A family (Leviticus 25:47; 1 Esdras 5:37; Tobit 5:13; 1 Macc 12:21; 2 Macc 1:10; Acts 13:26; Philippians 3:5 ).

(3) Elsewhere (Job 13:27 , etc.) the word refers to an instrument of punishment. See PUNISHMENTS .
