““The Hebrew word for child (“Na’ar”) used in these Proverbs is most often translated to mean boy, youth or lad. There is no record in all of scripture of children actually being beaten with a shebet.” -Connected Families
This is such a divisive topic that gets people very worked up but I would implore listeners to consider and study not just what the rod is referring to as they do in the podcast but what is the CHILD. There is no evidence for this being a small child as we understand it culturally today.”
