Cane @ a tall sedgy plant with a hollow stem, growing in moist places. In Isaiah:43:24; Jeremiah:6:20, the Hebrew word _kaneh_ is thus rendered, giving its name to the plant. It is rendered "reed" in kjvKings:14:15; Job:40:21; Isaiah:19:6Isaiah:35:7. In Psalms:68:30 the expression "company of spearmen" is in the margin and the Revised Version "beasts of the reeds," referring probably to the crocodile or the hippopotamus as a symbol of Egypt. In 2Kings:18:21; Isaiah:36:6; Ezekiel:29:6-7, the reference is to the weak, fragile nature of the reed. (See CALAMUS.)
