Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to sharpen. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G1407, κέντρον (kentron), which also refers to a goad or a sharp point. This term is used in the New Testament to convey a similar metaphorical meaning, emphasizing the idea of guidance or prodding towards a particular path or action. Usage: The term "darbon" is used in the context of a goad, an implement for prodding and guiding livestock. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a tool used metaphorically to represent guidance or motivation. Context: The Hebrew word דָּרְבוֹן (darbon) is a noun that refers to a goad, a traditional farming implement used to drive and control cattle. The goad is typically a long, pointed stick that a herdsman uses to prod animals, ensuring they move in the desired direction. In the biblical context, the goad is often used metaphorically to symbolize guidance, instruction, or motivation, sometimes with an implication of discomfort or compulsion. In Ecclesiastes 12:11, the term is used metaphorically: "The words of the wise are like goads, and the collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd." Here, the goad represents the wisdom and teachings that guide individuals in their lives, much like a goad directs livestock. The concept of a goad is also found in the New Testament, where it is used metaphorically in Acts 26:14, "It is hard for you to kick against the goads," illustrating the futility of resisting divine guidance or purpose.
