Stubble

stub'-'-l (qash (Ex 5:12, etc.); kalame (The Wisdom of Solomon 3:7;1Co 3:12)): These Hebrew and Greek forms are used of the stalks of wheat, etc., left knee-high in the field by the reapers. tebhen (Job 21:18), is a mixture of chopped straw and chaff produced in threshing, which is winnowed out by the fan (compareJer 23:28;Isa 5:24;Mt 3:12). When tebhen was withheld from them the Israelites had to utilize qash for the manufacture of their bricks (Ex 5:12).
