Usage: The verb λιθοβολέω refers to the act of throwing stones at someone, typically as a form of execution or punishment. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of stoning, a method of capital punishment prescribed in the Mosaic Law for certain offenses.

Cultural and Historical Background: Stoning was a common form of capital punishment in ancient Israel and the surrounding cultures. It was often carried out by the community as a collective act of judgment and was intended to serve as a deterrent against sin. The practice is rooted in the Mosaic Law, where it was prescribed for various transgressions, including blasphemy, idolatry, and certain sexual sins. Stoning was seen as a way to purge evil from the community and uphold the holiness of God's people.
