STOCKS - S>@ - (An instrument of punishment, consisting of two beams, the upper one being movable, with two small openings between them, large enough for the ankles of the prisoner.
ED.) The term "stocks" is applied in the Authorized Version to two different articles one of which answers rather to our pillory, inasmuch as the body was placed in a bent position, by the confinement of the neck and arms as well as the legs while the other answers to our "stocks," the feet alone being confined in it. The prophet Jeremiah was confined in the first sort, kjv@Jeremiah:20:2) which appears to have been a common mode of punishment in his day, kjv@Jeremiah:29:26) as the prisons contained a chamber for the special purpose, termed "the house of the pillory." ( kjv@2Chronicles:16:10) (Authorized Version "prison-house"). The stocks, properly so called, are noticed in kjv@Job:13:27 kjv@Job:33:11; kjv@Acts:16:24) The term used in kjv@Proverbs:7:22) (Authorized Version "stocks") more properly means a fetter.
