- EXP:Goad by Jim Fox
-
- Hebrew - dorevan, malmadh Greek - kentron
-
- An eight-foot wooden pole, shod at one end with a spade used for
- removing mud from the plow and at the other with a sharp point for
- prodding oxen. It was a formidable weapon in the hands of shamgar
- (Judges 3:31). To "kick against the pricks" pictures oxen kicking
- against the goads - a figure of useless resistance to a greater power.
