Strong's Lexicon saqal: To stone, to pelt with stones Original Word: סָקַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3036 (lithoboleo): To stone, to pelt with stones - G3037 (lithos): Stone Usage: The Hebrew verb "saqal" primarily means to stone or to pelt with stones. It is often used in the context of executing judgment or punishment, particularly in the form of capital punishment for certain transgressions as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. The act of stoning was a communal activity, involving the participation of the community in carrying out the sentence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, stoning was a method of execution used for various offenses, including blasphemy, idolatry, and certain sexual sins. It was a means of purging evil from the community and upholding the holiness of God's people. The communal aspect of stoning underscored the collective responsibility of the community to maintain the covenantal standards set by God. The process was intended to serve as a deterrent to sin and a reminder of the seriousness of violating God's commandments.
