2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Boll \Boll\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Bolled}.] To form a boll or seed vessel; to go to seed. The barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. --Ex. ix 31. From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Bolled (Ex. 9:31), meaning "swollen or podded for seed," was adopted in the Authorized Version from the version of Coverdale (1535). The Revised Version has in the margin "was in bloom," which is the more probable rendering of the Hebrew word It is the fact that in Egypt when barley is in ear (about February) flax is blossoming.
