'Stocks' in the Bible

“You put my feet in the stocksAnd watch all my paths;You set a limit for the soles of my feet,

‘He puts my feet in the stocks;He watches all my paths.’

Pashhur had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put him in the stocks that were at the upper Benjamin Gate, which was by the house of the Lord.

On the next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Pashhur is not the name the Lord has called you, but rather Magor-missabib.

“The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be the overseer in the house of the Lord over every madman who prophesies, to put him in the stocks and in the iron collar,

and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
