The Definition of the word Cane

Cane

A tall sedgy plant with a hollow stem, growing in moist places. "In Isa. 43:24; Jer. 6:20, the Hebrew word kaneh is thus" "rendered, giving its name to the plant. It is rendered "reed" in" 1 Kings 14:15; Job 40:21; Isa. 19:6; 35:7. In Ps. 68:30 the "expression "company of spearmen" is in the margin and the" "Revised Version "beasts of the reeds," referring probably to the" crocodile or the hippopotamus as a symbol of Egypt. In 2 Kings "18:21; Isa. 36:6; Ezek. 29:6, 7, the reference is to the weak," fragile nature of the reed. (See [96]CALAMUS.)
