stok : In English Versions of the Bible is used for:
(1) The stem of a tree, whether alive ( Job 14:8; Isaiah 40:24 ) or cut down ( Isaiah 44:19; The Wisdom of Solomon 14:21). In Jeremiah 2:27; Jeremiah 3:9; Hosea 4:12 , where the Hebrew has simply עץ , ‛ēc , "wood," either meaning is possible (tree-worship? idolatry?). In Jeremiah 10:8 the text is doubtful.
(2) A family ( Leviticus 25:47; 1 Esdras 5:37; Tobit 5:13; 1 Macc 12:21; 2 Macc 1:10; Acts 13:26; Philippians 3:5 ).
(3) Elsewhere ( Job 13:27 , etc.) the word refers to an instrument of punishment. See Punishments .
