Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of beating or striking with a rod is מַטֶּה (matteh), Strong's Hebrew 4294, which can mean "staff" or "rod." Usage: The verb "rhabdizó" refers to the act of beating or striking with a rod or staff. In the context of the New Testament, it is often associated with punishment or discipline, reflecting a form of corporal punishment that was common in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, corporal punishment was a standard method of discipline and correction. The use of rods for punishment was prevalent in both Jewish and Roman societies. In Jewish tradition, the rod was a symbol of authority and correction, as seen in Proverbs 13:24, "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently." In Roman culture, scourging was a legal penalty often administered before crucifixion or as a standalone punishment.
