'Shoots' in the Bible

So the Lord cut off Israel's head and tail, both the shoots and stalk in one day.

For the fields of Heshbon are dried up, as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations trample all over its vines, which reach Jazer and spread to the desert; their shoots spread out and cross the sea.

For before the harvest, when the bud has sprouted, and the ripening fruit appears, he will cut off the unproductive shoots with pruning knives; he will prune the tendrils.

Egypt will not be able to do a thing, head or tail, shoots and stalk.
