An oxgoad is a traditional farming tool used to guide and control oxen.
Oxens are domesticated cattle, typically castrated male bovines used for draft purposes for pulling carts, plows and other heavy loads.
They are also used for transportation purposes, used for carrying goods or people from one place to another.
In the Bible, at Judges 3:31, Oxgoad was mentioned as a tool used by Sham’gar the son of A’nath to defeat 600 Philistine men to save Israel.
History records during ancient civilization oxgoads were used in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece to control and guide oxen for plowing and other agricultural tasks, and in medieval Europe Oxgoads were a common tool for agriculture.
In many traditional communities, oxgoads were hand made from wood or other materials and passed down through many generations.
Have you seen an oxgoad where you live ?
Oxgoads may be an ancient tool used for farming but it’s significance is worth reminiscing.

09/09/2025

While facial and body symmetry like full lips, high forehead, broad face, small chin, small nose, short and narrow jaw, high cheek bones, clear smooth and glowy skin, wide bright set of eyes, flat stomach, wide hips, full buttocks, straight and full legs to name but just a few are considered physically beautiful in women.
It would be in your best interest to know being physically beautiful is not enough because beauty can be fleeting, does not guarantee lasting relationships, and is often overshadowed by more important inner qualities such as kindness , confidence, character and shared values.
While physical appearance can make a good first impression , it doesn’t build the sustained connection , mutual respect, and emotional depth necessary for long term success in relationships and personal fulfillment.
