Usage: The term "mutteh" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a staff or rod, often symbolizing authority, leadership, or support. It can also refer to a branch, indicating growth or extension. The word is used metaphorically to represent power or the means by which authority is exercised. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a staff or rod was a common symbol of authority and leadership. Shepherds used staffs to guide and protect their flocks, and leaders or kings often carried rods as symbols of their power and responsibility. The staff was also a practical tool for walking and support, especially in rugged terrain.
