As much as the thigh surpasses the little finger in thickness, so much does my power exceed that of my father; and the use I shall make of it to oppress and tax you shall be in proportion. 2Chr 10:10-11; Prov 10:14, Prov 18:6-7, Prov 28:25, Prov 29:23; Isa 47:6 I will add Exod 1:13-14, Exod 5:5-9, Exod 5:18; 1Sam 8:18; 2Chr 16:10; Isa 58:6; Jer 27:11; Jer 28:13-14 but I will chastise Should you rebel or become disaffected, my father's whip shall be a scorpion in my hand. His was chastisement, mine shall be punishment. Celsius and Hiller conjecture that âkrabbim denotes a thorny kind of shrub, whose prickles are of a venomous nature, called by the Arabs scorpion thorns, from the exquisite pain which they inflict. But the Chaldee renders it margenin, and the Syriac moragyai, i.e., μαραγναι, scourges; and in the parallel place of Chronicles the Arabic has saut, a scourge. Isidore, and after him Calmet and others, assert that the scorpion was a sort of severe whip, the lashes of which were armed with knots or points that sunk into and tore the flesh. scorpions 1Kgs 12:14; Ezek 2:6; Rev 9:3-10
