Strong's Lexicon kalamé: Stalk, straw Original Word: καλάμη Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word κάλαμος (kalamos), meaning "reed" or "stalk." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of straw or stalk is תֶּבֶן (teben), Strong's Hebrew #8401, which also refers to straw or stubble. Usage: In the New Testament, καλάμη (kalamé) refers to the stalk or straw of a plant, often used in the context of agricultural imagery. It is typically associated with the remnants of grain plants after the harvest, emphasizing the idea of something that is left behind or discarded. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, such as those in the biblical world, the harvest was a significant event. The stalks or straw left after the grain was harvested were often used for various purposes, including fodder for animals, fuel, or even building material. The imagery of straw or stalks would have been familiar to Jesus' audience, who lived in a culture deeply connected to agriculture.
