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.
