  STRAW; STUBBLE in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
stro, stub'-'-l: The cognates of Hebrew tebhen, "straw" and qash, "stubble," have been retained in the modern Arabic terms tibn and qashsh.
The children of Israel had their task of brickmaking made more arduous by being required to gather stubble and prepare it by chopping it up instead of being given the already prepared straw of the threshing-floors (Ex 5:7 ff).
In the Bible stubble is used to typify worthless inflammable material (Ex 15:7; Job 13:25; 41:28,29; Ps 83:13; Isa 5:24, etc.; 1 Cor 3:12, kalame).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Purgatory
If a man depart this life with lighter faults, he is condemned to fire which burns away the lighter materials, and prepares the soul for the kingdom of God, where nothing defiled may enter.
Would you enter into heaven with your wood and hay and stubble and thus defile the kingdom of God; or on account of these hindrances would you remain without and receive no reward for your gold and silver and precious stones?
It remains then that you be committed to the fire which will burn the light materials; for our God to those who can comprehend heavenly things is called a cleansing fire.

The grass and the haystacks in this piece were executed in at least two different work phases, and one sees in the haystacks that dots and short lines were applied over fine curls and spirals.
Powerful horizontal strokes in the grass placed above the short strokes of the grass stubble represent shadows.
The field and the haystacks are covered with fine dots, as are the road and the sky, which Van Gogh left blank in the drawing for Bernard.
