stok: In English Versions of the Bible is used for:
(1) The stem of a tree, whether alive (Job 14:8; Isa 40:24) or cut down (Isa 44:19; #/RAPC Wis 14:21). In Jer 2:27; 3:9; Ho 4:12, where the Hebrew has simply ets, "wood," either meaning is possible (tree-worship? idolatry?). In Jer 10:8 the text is doubtful.
(2) A family (Le 25:47; #/RAPC 1Es 5:37; Tob 5:13; 1Ma 12:21; 2Ma 1:10; Ac 13:26; Php 3:5).
(3) Elsewhere (Job 13:27, etc.) the word refers to an instrument of punishment.
