'Stalk' in the Bible
Then he fell asleep again and had a second dream: There were seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, healthy and good.
I also saw in my dream seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
They stalk and lurk; they watch my every step, as they prepare to take my life.
For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.
So the Lord cut off Israel's head and tail, both the shoots and stalk in one day.
Egypt will not be able to do a thing, head or tail, shoots and stalk.
They sow the wind, and so they will reap the whirlwind! The stalk does not have any standing grain; it will not produce any flour. Even if it were to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it all up.
