Dict: easton - Ox



easton:



Ox @ Heb. bakar, "cattle;" "neat cattle", kjv@Genesis:12:16 kjv@Genesis:34:28; kjv@Job:1:3 kjv@Job:1:14 kjv@Job:42:12, etc.); not to be muzzled when treading the corn kjv@Deuteronomy:25:4). Referred to by our Lord in his reproof to the Pharisees kjv@Luke:13:15 kjv@Luke:14:5).



Ox goad @ mentioned only in kjv@Judges:3:31, the weapon with which Shamgar (q.v.) slew six hundred Philistines. "The ploughman still carries his goad, a weapon apparently more fitted for the hand of the soldier than the peaceful husbandman. The one I saw was of the 'oak of Bashan,' and measured upwards of ten feet in length. At one end was an iron spear, and at the other a piece of the same metal flattened. One can well understand how a warrior might use such a weapon with effect in the battle-field" (Porter's Syria, etc.). (
See GOAD.)
