The meaning of Cane in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

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 I Kings 14:15; Job 40:21; Isaiah 19:6; 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 II Kings 18:21; Isaiah 36:6; Ezekiel 29:6,7, the reference is to the weak, fragile nature of the reed. (See CALAMUS .)
