[5] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

cane
   a tall sedgy plant with a hollow stem, growing in moist places.
   in isa. 43:24; jer. 6:20, the hebrew word _kaneh_ is thus
   rendered, giving its name to the plant. it is rendered "reed" in
   1 kings 14:15; job 40:21; isa. 19:6; 35:7. in ps. 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 2 kings
   18:21; isa. 36:6; ezek. 29:6, 7, the reference is to the weak,
   fragile nature of the reed. see calamus.
