Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2247 (ἔκκεντρον, ekkentron), which refers to a goad or a spur. This Greek term similarly conveys the idea of urging or driving forward, often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the act of compelling or motivating someone towards a particular action or behavior. Usage: The term שֹׁטֵט is used in the context of driving or urging forward, akin to the action of goading or flogging. It implies a forceful encouragement or compulsion, often associated with the use of a physical instrument like a goad. Context: The Hebrew root שֹׁטֵט (shoteṭ) is a primitive root that conveys the idea of driving or urging forward, similar to the action of a goad. In ancient agricultural practices, a goad was a pointed stick used to prod oxen or other animals to move or maintain a straight path while plowing. This term metaphorically extends to the concept of compelling or urging individuals or groups to action. The usage of שֹׁטֵט in the Hebrew Bible is relatively rare, and its occurrences are often linked to contexts of discipline or correction, where a forceful impetus is necessary to achieve a desired outcome. The imagery of flogging or goading underscores the intensity and urgency of the action, reflecting a situation where gentle persuasion is insufficient.
