Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3036 (lithoboleō): To stone, to pelt with stones Usage: The verb רָגַם (ragam) is used in the context of stoning, a form of capital punishment in ancient Israelite society. It involves casting stones at an individual until death ensues. This term is often associated with the execution of those who have committed serious offenses according to the Mosaic Law. Context: רָגַם (ragam) appears in several passages within the Hebrew Bible, primarily in legal contexts where stoning is prescribed as a punishment for certain transgressions. The act of stoning was a communal activity, often involving the participation of the community or witnesses to the crime. This method of execution was intended to serve as a deterrent against sin and to maintain the holiness of the community.
