SCEPTRE - S>@ - This word originally meant a rod or staff . It was thence specifically applied to the shepherd’s crook, kjv@Leviticus:27:32; kjv@Micah:7:14) and to the wand or sceptre of a ruler. The allusions to it are all of a metaphorical character, and describe it simply as one of the insignia of supreme power. kjv@Genesis:49:10) We are consequently unable to describe the article from any biblical notice we may infer that it was probably made of wood. The sceptre of the Persian monarch is described as "golden" i.e. probably of massive gold. kjv@Esther:4:11)

easton:

Sceptre @ (Heb. shebet = Gr. skeptron), properly a staff or rod. As a symbol of authority, the use of the sceptre originated in the idea that the ruler was as a shepherd of his people kjv@Genesis:49:10; kjv@Numbers:24:17; kjv@Psalms:45:6; kjv@Isaiah:14:5). There is no example on record of a sceptre having ever been actually handled by a Jewish king.
