Straw

VIEW:13 DATA:01-04-2020
teben. The Egyptians reaped grain close to the ear, afterward they cut the straw close to the ground and laid the straw by Pharaoh refused this straw to Israel, who therefore had to gather the short stubble left; translated Exo_5:12, "gather (qash) stubble for the straw," i.e. to be prepared as straw chopped small; so the old versions and Targum Onkelos.

Straw. Both wheat and barley straw were used by the ancient Hebrews, chiefly as fodder for the horses cattle and camels. Gen_24:25; 1Ki_4:28; Isa_11:7; Isa_66:25. There is no intimation that straw was used for litter. It was employed by the Egyptians for making bricks, Exo_5:7; Exo_5:16, being chopped up and mixed with the clay, to make them more compact, and to prevent their cracking. See Brick.
The ancient Egyptians reaped their corn close to the ear, and, afterward, cut the straw close to the ground and laid it by. This was the straw that Pharaoh refused to give to the Israelites, who were, therefore, compelled to gather "stubble" instead — a matter of considerable difficulty, seeing that the straw itself had been cut off near to the ground.

(תֶּבֶן, teben [once “stubble,” Job_21:18; once “chaff,” Jer_23:28]; once the cognate מַתְבֵּן, mithben, Isa_25:10; Sept. ἄχυρον; Vulg. palea). Both wheat and barley straw were used by the ancient Hebrews chiefly as fodder for their horses, cattle, and camels (Gen_24:25; 1Ki_4:28; Isaiah 11:7; 55:25). The straw was probably often chopped and mixed with barley, beans, etc., for provender (see Harmer, Obs. [Lond. 1797], 1, 423, 424; Wilkinson, Ancient Egypt. [ibid. 1854], 2, 48). There is no intimation that straw was used for litter; Harmer thinks it was not so employed. The litter the people now use in those countries is the animal's dung, dried in the sun and bruised between their hands which they heap up again in the morning, sprinkling it in the summer with fresh water to keep it from corrupting (Harmer, Obs. p. 424). Straw was employed by the Egyptians for making bricks (Exo_5:7; Exo_5:16); it was chopped up and mixed with the clay to make them more compact and to prevent their cracking (Wilkinson, Ancient Egypt. 2, 194). SEE BRICK.
The ancient Egyptians reaped their corn close to the ear and afterwards cut the straw close to the ground (ibid. p. 48) and laid it by. This was the straw that Pharaoh refused to give to the Israelites, who were therefore compelled to gather “stubble” (קִשׁ, kash) instead, a matter of considerable difficulty, seeing that the straw itself had been cut off near to the ground. The stubble (q.v.) frequently alluded to in the Scriptures may denote either the short standing straw mentioned above, which was commonly set on fire (hence the allusions in Isa_5:24; Joe_2:5), or the small fragments that would be left behind after the reapings (hence the expression “as the kash before the wind” [Psa_83:13; Isa_41:2; Jer_13:24]).
