A couple days ago, hay and straw were mentioned. Of troy asked about straw. Just now I was searching for something else in the Bible, and encountered these verses:

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut
down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

I checked in my dictionary, and "strawed" is old past tense of "strew".
